920 Amaranth - Sweater Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Northfield

The trend for minimalist colorwork yokes is going strong; Valley Yarns Amaranth features a single contrast color that adds a visual pop to any design. This women’s pullover is knit in Valley Yarns Northfield, a great blend of Merino, baby alpaca, and silk from the bottom up in the round. Amaranth is then joined to the body to work the yoke. Northfield has the slightest sheen from the silk, adding sophistication to this superb yarn. The colorwork pattern is in chart form only.
