Valley Yarns Designer Series presents Northland Vest, a women’s sweater with a timeless style with a modern twist knit in Whately. This lovely vest is perfect to go from home to the office to dinner out. Northland Vest is knit in the round from the bottom up. A narrow band of stranded Colorwork is worked just above the rib, and another wider band of stranded colorwork begins before dividing the front and back. Valley Yarns Whately is sumptuous naturally heathered due to a blend of baby alpaca and cotton, creating a lightweight warmth that will ward off the chill. The colorwork patterns are in chart form only.
