Product Details
Valley Yarns Alcyone is a stunning women’s stranded
colourwork cardigan knit in Sunderland; a 100%
baby alpaca yarn is a versatile DK weight and has a soft halo and beautifully
heathered colours. The jumper features a scoop neckline and long sleeves that sit
at mid-hip with an allover colourwork pattern and contrasting colour for the rib
trims. Alcyone is knit in the round from the bottom up, and sleeves are worked separately
and joined to the body at the beginning of the yoke. Steek stitches are included
in the center front from the hem to the neck, which will then be cut up the
center and secured to the inside of the piece. The colourwork pattern is in
chart form only.
