Valley Yarns DS176 Marblehead PDF

The Valley Yarns Designer Series presents Marblehead, a richly textured pullover that embodies casual chic style. This seamless sweater is worked from the top down beginning with the back knit from shoulder to underarm. Stitches for the fronts are picked up along the cast-on edge and worked down to the underarms before joining the back and finishing the body in the round to the hems, where short-rows give gentle curves to the front and back. Sleeves stitches are picked up around the armhole edge and knit in the round after a short-row sleeve cap. Thoughtful fit details and a stylish silhouette pair get a boost of cozy comfort worked in Valley Superwash DK, and smooth and soft superwash Merino wool. This go-to sweater yarn is machine-washable for easy care, comes in a wide range of colors, and has a crisp stitch definition that makes your textured stitches pop. Marblehead is the sweater to choose for a pullover that’s got a subtle, sophisticated style you can wear anywhere you need to go! Texture pattern is written out only.
