Valley Yarns Mansard is a lovely women’s scoop neck pullover. The sweater features bell sleeves and a flattering scoop neck, and feminine waist shaping. Clean-lined and fresh, this is a stylish piece to take knitters from work to a night out in style. Mansard is knit in the round from the bottom up with Colrain, then carrying a strand of Southampton along with Colrain for several inches and continue knitting with Colrain only. The sleeves are also knit up the same way then seamed together.
