Valley Yarns Pollia Knitting Pattern

Valley Yarns Pollia is a stunning women’s A-line pullover knit in Valley Superwash DK. All the cable lovers in the knitting community will drool over it. The sweater’s detailed cable panel is offset with a reverse stockinette stitch on the back and the sleeves. The saddle shoulder defines the cabled sleeves. Pollia is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The neckband stitches are picked up and worked in the round. Valley Superwash DK is machine-washable in cold water with a gentle detergent or Eucalan. The 3-ply construction of this yarn gives it an excellent stitch definition, so it’s a great choice for Pollia. The cable panels are charted and written out.
