Knit in Valley Yarns Colrain, both the slightly flared sleeves and yoke of this ladylike, elegant Flares and Graces sweater feature clever chevron cable patterning, designed to highlight the wearers face and hands. Gentle waist shaping gives a slightly fitted silhouette to the body, worked in Stockinette stitch. Set-in sleeves completes the elegant look. This will become a wardrobe go-to sweater that can be dressed up, paired with feminine skirts, or down, over your favorite jeans.
