Valley Yarns Mesa Verde is a simple yet stunning women’s tank knit in Westhampton. With shoulders wide enough to conceal bra straps, a scoop neck, and an eyelet pattern that runs up the center front and along the side seams. With a drapey A-line shaping for a flattering fit it will be a warm weather favorite that also works as a layering piece on cooler days. It’s the perfect project for newer knitters wanting to build their lace knitting skills, but with enough design details to keep more experienced knitters interested. Mesa Verde is knit flat in two pieces and seamed for structure. The doubled picot hem ensures that the sweater will hang nicely. Westhampton by Valley Yarns is a delightful yarn made with 100% Pima cotton!
