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.
