Valley Yarns Cosmic Crisp has a simple silhouette that gets a big style boost from multidirectional narrow stripes. Casual and comfortable, this pullover has a boat neckline, dropped shoulders, and long sleeves. Valley Superwash DK ensures that your finished sweater will be cozy warm with a smooth, soft feel and easy-care machine-washability. Your project begins with the body panels, working flat from the bottom up before picking up stitches along one side to work the vertical stripe section. Contrasting color ribbed trims frame each piece, picked up and worked before the front and back are seamed at the shoulders and sides. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and worked in the round to the wrist. With a wide range of mix and match colors to choose from in Valley Superwash DK, you can create a custom go-to sweater with Cosmic Crisp!
