Valley Yarns Designer Series Welkin is an A-line women’s sweater that is ideal for dressing up or dressing down whatever you are wearing. Knit in Amherst, the gorgeous lace panels on the front and back and the cable rib on the cuffs and hem make this cardigan one that will draw praises wherever it is worn. The body is knit in one piece from the bottom up. The sleeves are also knit from the bottom up, and pieces are then seamed together. Valley Yarns Amherst is a smooth worsted weight yarn that shows texture and stitch patterns beautifully and has a wide range of colors that are perfect for this cardigan. The lace and cable patterns are charted and written out.
