Introducing the Valley Yarns Larch, a beautifully crafted women’s boxy pullover that combines warmth, comfort, and style. This exquisite sweater features a striking twist stitch pattern intricately knit in Peru, making it a standout addition to your wardrobe.

The eye-catching diamond twist pattern seamlessly incorporates seed stitch edgings, offering a unique touch that elevates this classic pullover. Knit flat in pieces from the bottom up, the Larch sweater showcases an innovative design. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole, allowing you to knit in the round to the cuffs for a clean finish. Additionally, you will pick up neckband stitches along the neck edge and work them in the round, ensuring a polished look.
