Deep Valley Sweater knittingforolive_new

Deep Valley Sweater is a soft and elegant sweater with a deep V-neck and a loose and boxy fit. The sweater is worked from the top down in half-fisherman’s rib using 1 strand of Merino or Cotton Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. An edge stitch worked with a yarnover gives the neckline a clean and sharp edge. Note that the sweater stretches approx. 10 cm [4”] lengthwise after blocking. Deep Valley Sweater is designed with positive ease. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements on the previous page. If your actual chest circumference is, say, 98 cm [38½”], you should choose to knit a size M in order to achieve the intended fit.
