1328 Juneberry - Sweater Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Goshen

Introducing the Valley Yarns Juneberry, a stylish and comfortable boxy dropped shoulder top that enhances your summer wardrobe with its delightful stranded colorwork on the yoke. Crafted from the luxurious and silky smooth Goshen yarn, this pattern ensures you stay cool and comfortable during warm weather. With a blend of cotton, modal, and silk, the fabric produced offers remarkable drape and breathability. This knitting pattern is designed to be executed in the round, starting from the hem and continuing to the underarms, making it an enjoyable project for intermediate knitters. The construction of this top includes casting on sleeve stitches alongside the steek stitches, allowing you to work the colorwork yoke seamlessly in the round. Once the vibrant yoke is completed, the sleeve steeks are secured and snipped, while the back and front pieces are expertly seamed together at the shoulders. For a polished finish, stitches are picked up around the neck and sleeves, transitioning into thoughtfully ribbed trims that are knit in the round. Note: The colorwork pattern is charted only. This exclusive pattern is only available as a PDF download!
