Pitaya
Valley Yarns Pitaya is a solid-color version that features a textured stitch pattern at the yoke that includes purl and twist stitches. Knit in Amherst, its fitted design has waist shaping and a feminine scoop neck and sits at mid-hip. Body and sleeves are worked separately, in the round from the bottom up, and then the sleeve stitches are joined to the body. Valley Yarns Amherst is a smooth worsted weight yarn that shows texture and stitch patterns beautifully and has a wide range of colors that is perfect for this women’s pullover. The diamond yoke pattern is charted and written out.
