LilyValley is a versatile v-neck sweater with a casual and feminine look. It is knit in a combination of lace and cable pattern which is quick and easy to learn. The yarn combination is 1 strand merino wool and 1 strand kid silk held together on 4mm needle. The gauge of 22 st / 28 rows opens up for countless yarn combinations.

The sweater is knit bottom up in the round. First you cast on the ribbed hemline, and knit upwards until you separate the garment into front and back pieces. Then, the front and back piece are finished separately, with reductions for v-neck in front. Sleeves are knit from stitches picked up from the arm holes and knit top-down in the round. Finally the ribbed v-neck is added, and then you´re done. Easy as that!
