Product Description
Valley Yarns Royal Star is a cute and cozy pullover decorated with bands of stranded colorwork and options for both long and short sleeves. With sizes from toddler to tween, this sweater will be a hit with lots of kids in your life! Easily customizable to each child’s favorite colors, Royal Star is a wonderful way to share a special handmade gift that is perfectly them. Valley Superwash DK is soft, smooth, and machine-washable, making it a hit with kids and caregivers alike, and it is a great choice for children’s garments. Royal Star is knit in the round from the bottom up with contrasting color hem and cuffs, stranded colorwork bands, and a raglan yoke worked as one piece after sleeves and body join at the underarm. Ribbed neckband is picked up and knit in the round during finishing, and the only seaming necessary for this project is closing up the underarms before it’s ready to gift. Stranded colorwork patterns are charted only.
