Valley Yarns Mount Rainier is a stunning striped unisex pullover knit in Northampton. The sweater features a crew neckline and long set-in sleeves that are great as a first sweater project and engaging enough for even the more experienced knitters. Mount Rainier is knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes in a charted stripe sequence, then divided for the front and the back. Neckband stitches are picked up along the neck edge and worked in the round. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked in the round to the cuffs. Valley Yarns Northampton is a workhorse yarn that you’ll come back to time and time again. We sourced a soft Peruvian wool and dyed it in a beautiful collection of solid colors and heathered shades.
