Stripes are always in style, and Valley Yarns Arborvitae is no exception. Knit in Amherst, this women’s sweater adds interest to the timeless style with offset striping bands and notch-neckband. Arborvitae is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The top of the front divides to allow a contrast color placket to be added.
