Valley Yarns 1328 Juneberry PDF

A boxy dropped shoulder top featuring fun stranded colorwork on the yoke, Valley Yarns Juneberry is a great pick for adding to your summer wardrobe. Silky smooth Goshen yarn ensures that you will be cool and comfortable with its blend of cotton, modal, and silk that works up into a fabric with great drape. Knit in the round from the hem to the underarms, sleeve stitches are cast on as well as steek stitches to allow working the colorwork yoke seamlessly in the round. Once the yoke is complete, the sleeve steeks are secured and cut and the back and front are seamed together at the shoulders. Stitches are picked up around the neck and sleeves and ribbed trims are knit in the round for a tidy finish. Colorwork pattern is charted only.
