Inspired by the beauty of the Scottish countryside, Glencoe is a spectacular cable pullover from the Valley Yarns Designer Series. Sporting a roomy drop-shoulder construction with a classic crewneck, Glencoe is richly cabled and also features columns of moss stitch for even more texture. Each piece of this pullover is knit flat from the bottom up and seams give structure to the finished sweater. The ribbed neckband is picked up and worked in the round for the perfect finishing touch. Northampton ensures that your sweater won’t only look good, but will feel good too. Cable patterns are both charted and written out.
