This sophisticated layering piece is worked in Valley Yarns Leverett, bringing its crisp hand and clean stitch definition to a sleeveless pullover that goes everywhere for three-season wear. The cables travel from the bottom up and split at the v-neckline into both sides. Positive ease gives this body-skimming piece a relaxed A-line silhouette. The sweater is worked in two main pieces, with the left and right hems for both the front and back first worked separately and then joined at the top of the hems to combine the cables into one. Kobuk Valley is knit flat in pieces and then seamed. The armhole and neckline edging stitches are picked up along the edge and worked in the round. Valley Yarns Leverett is a stay-cool blend of Pima cotton and linen that will work up beautifully into everything from tees to dishcloths!
