Come to the light side.

Valo is the light side of Valo and Varjo duo. It’s a squishy pullover with gorgeous cables, broken rib and an interesting construction. Valo starts off with provisional cast-on on the shoulders but there is no need for short row shaping on the shoulders as decreases at the back will pull them in place. The pullover has long sleeves. The tall collar is worked last and is shaped with short rows.
