Valley Yarns DS175 Raleigh PDF

Raleigh joins the Valley Yarns Designer Series with a stellar combination of laid back fit and elegant style elements. Your pullover begins by working in the round from hem to underarm, where the front and back divide to be completed separately with stitches incrementally cast-on for the integrated drop-shoulder sleeves. A three-needle bind-off joins the top of the shoulder and sleeves while seams join the undersides, and ribbed trims are picked up and worked in the round at the cuffs and neckline for tidy finishing touches. Your finished Raleigh pullover will have a comfortable, casual feel like its namesake city thanks to Haydenville yarn’s silky smooth combination of superwash Merino wool and acrylic microfiber. This machine-washable yarn has a beautiful sheen and crisp stitch definition, making your lace and texture stitches pop. Add Raleigh to your handmade wardrobe for a versatile pullover that will add instant sophistication to any outfit! Lace pattern is charted only.
