Valley Yarns 1307 Antares PDF

Valley Yarns Antares is a stunning lacey women’s pullover knit in Goshen, one of the softest cotton blends you can find. The Modal® and silk not only add a slight sheen but also enhance the durability of this gorgeous cotton yarn. The three-quarter sleeve boatneck topper works beautifully over a tank or cami. The pattern offers two options: a tunic length with A-line shaping or a waist-length boxy version. Antares is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The cable lace patterns are charted and written out.
