Sweatshirt-level comfort meets elegant sweater style in Valley Yarns Ponkan! This cozy pullover has a classic crew neckline, long set-in sleeves, and a straight fit through the body. Ponkan is worked in the round from hem to underarm, where the back and front are completed separately and joined at the shoulder with a three-needle bind-off. Sleeves are knit flat from the bottom up and set in during finishing. Both the body and sleeves of Ponkan feature ribbing that flows into chevron-patterned cables for great texture and interest. Valley Yarns Peru is a chainette blend of baby alpaca, Merino wool, and a touch of nylon that has great drape, cozy warmth, and a soft, lightweight feel. Choose your favorite shade from a gorgeous palette of heathered colors and cast on your Ponkan for a work to weekend look with instant style and incredible comfort. Stitch patterns are both charted and written out.
