Introducing the Valley Yarns Crispin pullover, a chic and modern knit designed to elevate your fall wardrobe. This sophisticated sweater features on-trend bishop sleeves and a flattering high hip length, making it a must-have for any fashion-forward knitter. The sleek boatneck and integrated drop-shoulder sleeves ensure clean design lines, enhancing the overall elegance of the piece. Crafted from Whately yarn, this sweater showcases a beautiful heathered color that adds depth and interest to your finished garment.
Whately yarn is a luxurious chainette blend of 68% baby alpaca and 32% organic Pima cotton. This soft and lightweight yarn is perfect for creating garments that you can wear comfortably throughout the year. The Crispin pullover is knit flat in separate pieces from the bottom up, with a three-needle bind-off technique used to join the shoulders and upper sleeves. The sides and underside of the sleeves are seamed, providing the structure your drapey fabric needs while maintaining a fashionable silhouette.
For added style, stitches are picked up around the bottom of the sleeves and worked in a loose rib on larger needles, giving the sleeves extra volume and added drape. The cuffs are then tapered with a decrease, enhancing the overall look of the pullover. Available in a range of neutrals and vibrant shades of Whately, you can easily create your own stylish Crispin pullover that transitions effortlessly from one season to the next.
Whether you're looking for a cozy sweater to wear on chilly days or a fashionable layer for a night out, the Crispin pullover is sure to impress. Its unique design, coupled with the luxurious feel of baby alpaca and organic cotton, makes it a versatile addition to your knitting collection.
