1210 Auriga - Sweater Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Huntington Splash

Discover the elegance of Valley Yarns Auriga, an exquisite women’s pullover designed for those warm-weather days. This lovely knit piece is crafted using Huntington Splash yarn, which lends it a touch of pizzazz along with comfort and style. Featuring a simple yet flattering shape with a sophisticated boat neck and airy lace shoulder panels, Auriga is perfect for a variety of occasions, whether you're dressing up for a dinner date or looking for a polished look under a jacket for the office.

The construction of this pullover is seamless, as it is knit in the round from the bottom up until the underarms. After reaching that point, the project transitions to working back and forth to create the shoulder lines. Short sleeves are formed with stitches that are cast on at each edge, ensuring an easy fit. The elegant lace panels are worked separately and then expertly seamed to the long side edges of the sleeves, adding a delicate touch to the overall design. Valley Yarns’ Huntington Splash boasts a blend of 75% Superwash Merino Wool and 25% Nylon—totaling 100g with an impressive 436 yards per hank—making it the ideal choice for a stylish and comfortable pullover like Auriga.

The lace pattern for this design is conveniently charted and thoroughly written out, making it accessible for those with some knitting experience.
