Valley Yarns Galanthus is a delightful men’s pullover knit in Becket. The sweater features a relaxed Henley neckline, dropped shoulders, and a lovely textured pattern. Galanthus is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked in the round to the cuff. Becket is a customer favorite, and its scrumptious blend of super fine alpaca and wool has us all ready to put it to work. Gently heathered colors give this sweater a rich feel, while the alpaca creates next-to-skin softness he’ll love. The Swedish Block pattern is charted and written out.
