Valley Yarns 053 Flottante

Valley Yarns Designer Series’ Flottante is an adorable lacy tee using Valley Superwash Sport. The pullover is knit in the round from the bottom up with an easy to memorize lace pattern with Nalgar shaping for a layering top with almost no finishing work. Nalgar construction (“raglan” spelled backward), thanks to the genius of Elizabeth Zimmermann involves increasing stitches to form the sleeves as you create the yoke. Valley Superwash Sport is made from soft extra-fine superwash Merino. You’ll love the stitch definition and drape of this yarn. The lace pattern is charted and written out.
