Thuja is a welcome addition to your fall and winter wardrobe. Knit in Valley Yarns Ashfield, this women’s v-neck pullover showcases clean diagonal rib patterns, guaranteeing that this sweater remains both classic and contemporary. You’ll want to wear it forever! Thuja is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole edge and worked in the round down to the cuffs. Valley Yarns Ashfield’s blend of fine Merino wool and bamboo viscose makes for a cozy garment yarn with a silky feel that’s perfect for pieces that needs a bit more drape. The leaning diagonal rib stitch patterns are charted and written out.
