Valley Yarns 1331 Stewartia PDF

For a basic pullover with just enough texture to make it interesting to knit and to wear, Valley Yarns Stewartia is just the thing! A classic crewneck, set-in sleeve sweater with ribbed trims gets a kick of texture on the yoke and sleeve tops with this design. This pullover is knit in the round from hem to underarms where the front and back are divided and knit flat to the shoulders where they join with a three-needle bind-off. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and include short-row sleeve caps knit back and forth in the same Swedish Block pattern as the yoke before working in stockinette stitch in the round to the cuffs. For a cozy everyday sweater with wide appeal, Stewartia is a fantastic choice. Valley Yarns Haydenville is a machine-washable blend of superwash Merino wool and acrylic microfiber that has a smooth, soft feel, lovely sheen, and crisp stitch definition that makes patterns pop! Texture pattern is both charted and written out.
