Valley Yarns 974 Cormorant

Valley Yarns Cormorant is a women’s gorgeous colorwork yoke pullover knit in Haydenville DK. This deep yoke drapes over the shoulders to form cap sleeves that look great dressed up or down. Cormorant is knit in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, then divided and later seamed to the base of the yoke. The scoop neck yoke is worked separately in the round in stranded colorwork from the cast-on edge to the neck. Haydenville DK has a gentle, exquisite sheen that is ideal for cables and colorwork due to the crisp stitch definition it will provide. The colorwork patterns are in chart form only.
