Valley Yarns Pennycress is a welcome new seamless basic for every knitter’s capsule wardrobe. This classic women’s crewneck top-down cardigan is knit in one piece from neck to hem. Soft and saturated Haydenville DK lifts it out of the ordinary, with textured rib bands and edges to provide special details. Haydenville DK has a gentle, exquisite sheen that is ideal for cables and colorwork due to the crisp stitch definition it will provide. The twisted rib pattern is charted and written out.
