Valley Yarns Great Smoky Mountains is a lovely yet simple lightweight women’s cardigan knit in 2/14 Alpaca Silk. The sweater is a fabulous extra layer to throw on over a tank or a dress when the air is just a tad too cool. An A-line shaping and short-row shoulders improve the fit. This cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up to the armholes, then divided for the fronts and the back. Sleeves are worked separately and set into the armholes.
