Shibui Knits Layton
from Julie Hoover is a lovely and smart women’s pullover knit in Pebble and
will be an instant wardrobe favorite. This sweater features a mock turtleneck, saddle
shoulders with a delicate pattern running up the center of the sleeves to the collar.
Layton is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed together. The
collar is knit in the round from picked up stitches. Shibui Knits Pebble is a
soft & luscious blend of silk, wool, and cashmere. This fingering weight
yarn exhibits a gentle tweedy effect, created by the small slubs that entwine
the core fibers. The entire sweater is knit with the yarn held double. The Wild
Oats Stitch is in written form only.
