Valley Yarns 1311 Arcturus PDF

Valley Yarns Arcturus is a gorgeous women’s tee that knits up quickly in Southwick, a Pima cotton and bamboo blend perfect for great stitch definition. The sweater features a mosaic bodice, cap sleeves, ribbed boat neckline, and two-color corrugated rib hem. Arcturus is knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes, then divided for the front and the back. Additional stitches are cast on to create the cap sleeves. The mosaic pattern is in chart form only.
