Valley Yarns Designer Series Brightling is a women’s cardigan that is as fun to knit as it is to wear! This cable and eyelet creation with drop sleeves and stair-step hem is knit in Valley Superwash. The fronts and back of Brightling are knit flat from the bottom up in pieces. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole edges and knit in the round to the cuffs. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash is made from 100% extra fine Merino wool, and it’s machine-washable in cold water with a mild detergent or Eucalan. The cable patterns are charted and written out.
