Valley Yarns 991 Mint Cooler PDF

Valley Yarns Mint Cooler is a cozy and casual oversized tunic that is just right for wearing over jeans or a pair of trousers. This women’s pullover is knit in Northampton featuring split hems, drop shoulders and fitted sleeves. The cuffs and split hems are worked in a textured twist-stitch pattern, and the neckline copies this texture in an easy companion lace pattern. The split front and back hems are worked in two pieces, then joined to work the stockinette body in the round to the armholes. Shoulders are worked with short row shaping to enhance drape and fit. Sleeve stitches are picked up and worked down from the armholes to the cuffs. Valley Yarns Northampton is a workhorse yarn that you will come back to time and time again. We sourced soft Peruvian wool and dyed it in a beautiful collection of solid colors and heathered shades. The lace patterns are charted and written out.
