1387 Kabosu - Top Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Hatfield and Southampton

Add Valley Yarns Kabosu to your handmade wardrobe to elevate a range of outfits to special-event ready looks! This lightweight layer has a luxurious look and feel with baby alpaca Hatfield held with silk and mohair Southampton throughout, creating an incredibly soft and warm finished fabric with beautiful drape. The body of Kabosu is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed with overlapping fronts, gathered shoulders, and a ribbed waistband. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole edge and worked in the round to the cuffs, which sport an eyelet motif that matches the fronts and waistband. Choose Kabosu for a chic addition to anything from camis and jeans to a little black dress or jumpsuit and be dressed to impress for a night out or a holiday gathering. Eyelet pattern is both charted and written out.
