Valley Yarns Hampshire Collection Ebook
The Valley Yarns Hampshire Collection Ebook is a downloadable PDF resource featuring six intermediate-level knitting designs. This collection showcases versatile garments and accessories suitable for knitters with foundational skills looking to expand their technique repertoire. Each pattern includes detailed instructions, schematic measurements, and comprehensive yarn requirements.
Pavonis (#1312)
What is Being Made: Pavonis is a top-down pullover sweater designed by Susan Baron. This piece is specifically engineered as a lightweight alternative to heavier wool sweaters, making it ideal for cool spring and fall weather when full-weight knitwear would be too warm. The sweater features an expanding cable yoke that creates visual interest while accommodating size increases from neck to bust.
Construction and Techniques: The Pavonis is knit in the round from the neck down, a method that minimizes finishing work and allows for seamless construction. The yoke features an increasing number of stitches incorporated directly into cable patterns, separated by narrow lines of reverse stockinette stitch. This integration of increases into the cable structure creates an elegant, cohesive design. Sleeve stitches are placed on holders while the body is completed in stockinette stitch, then sleeves are worked downward from the dividing point to the cuffs. This top-down approach to sleeve construction further reduces the finishing burden.
Stitches Used: The primary stitches include stockinette stitch for the body and sleeves, cable stitches for the yoke detail, reverse stockinette stitch for yoke separation lines, and make-one increases (M1) for shaping. The pattern uses standard abbreviations including knit (K) and various increase methods.
Yarn and Needles: Pavonis is knit in Valley Yarns Goshen, a soft and supple blend of 48% Peruvian cotton, 46% modal, and 6% silk. This fiber composition provides breathability and drape appropriate for a cool-weather layering piece. The yarn is worked at a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rounds over 4 inches in stockinette stitch on the larger needles, blocked. Needles required include US size 7 (4.50 mm) circular needles in 16", 24", and 32"–40" lengths, plus double-pointed needles, and US size 6 (4.00 mm) circular needles in 16" and 24"–40" lengths. Additional materials include stitch markers, stitch holders or scrap yarn, a cable needle, and a tapestry needle.
Sizing: The pattern is available in nine sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, with finished bust measurements from 33½ inches to 64¾ inches. The sweater is designed to fit with 3 to 5 inches of positive ease. Yarn requirements range from 11 skeins for the smallest size to 24 skeins for the largest size.
