Valley Yarns 1358 Kanzi PDF

Sophisticated style and a soft, luxurious feel team up in the Valley Yarns Kanzi pullover. Ribbed columns run up the sleeves and the sides of the body with basketweave cables adding focal points and providing waist shaping. Valley Yarns Northfield gives your finished sweater its velvety soft feel with a blend of Merino wool, baby alpaca, and silk that has subtle sheen, great drape, and crisp stitch definition. Kanzi is knit in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, where the back and front are completed separately and joined at the shoulders with a three-needle bind-off. Sleeves are knit flat and set into the armholes during finishing with seams at the underside. The crew neckline and set-in sleeve silhouette offer styling versatility, and the Kanzi pullover can effortlessly add graceful elegance to any outfit. Cable pattern is both charted and written out.
