Valley Yarns Larch is a warm and comfortable women’s boxy pullover, featuring a diamond twist stitch pattern. Knit in Peru, the sweater has a relaxed fit that makes it perfect for layering. The striking diamond twist pattern is combined with seed stitch hems and sleeves. Larch is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up, with sleeve stitches picked up around the armhole and worked in the round to the cuffs. The neckband stitches are picked up along the neck edge and worked in the round. Instructions for the diamond twist stitch pattern are both charted and written out.
