1272 Goldenrod - Sweater Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Ashfield

Discover the beauty of the Valley Yarns Goldenrod, an exquisite women’s pullover crafted from the luxurious Ashfield yarn. This stunning sweater showcases a unique twist stitch panel that gracefully splits at the base of the v-neck, continuing elegantly up to the shoulders. The Goldenrod pullover is knitted in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, where the journey leads to a thoughtful division. The sleeve stitches are then picked up along the armhole edge and worked down to the cuffs for a seamless finish. Made from Valley Yarns Ashfield, a silky soft blend of fine Merino wool and bamboo viscose, this pullover offers exceptional drape and a soft sheen, making it a delightful addition to your wardrobe. The intricate twist stitch patterns are fully charted and also written out for your convenience.
