Valley Yarns Gobi is a lovely women’s geometric pullover knit in Brodie. The colorwork uses two high-contrast colors for this must-have three-season piece featuring a crew neckline, dropped shoulders, and split ribbed him. Gobi is knit in two pieces for the split ribbed hem and then joined and worked in the round to the underarms. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked down to the cuffs in the round. Valley Yarns Brodie is a silky soft cashmere yarn with a touch of extrafine Merino that works up beautifully into luxurious accessories or garments.
