903 Tanzanite - Cardigan Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Goshen

On cool spring evenings, Tanzanite from Valley Yarns is a casual, oversized topper that makes an excellent layering piece knit in Goshen, and is perfect for knitters wanting to try a first lace project. Two rectangles, seamed together to form sleeves, front, and back, make this oversized women’s cardigan a quick and easy project. Valley Yarns Goshen is one of the softest cotton blends you can find. The Modal® and silk not only add a slight sheen but also enhance the durability of this gorgeous yarn. Garments made with Goshen will not pill and will stand the test of time. The lace pattern is charted and written out.
