Valley Yarns Patagonia Knitting Pattern

Description

Valley Yarns Patagonia is a lovely and slightly oversized womens cardigan that is a quick knit using Berkshire Bulky. The sweater features raglan lantern sleeves, open-front, and cropped, perfect for pairing with a dress or high waist pants. Patagonia is ideal as a first sweater as it is knit almost seamlessly from the ribbed hem and stockinette stitch body to the base of the yoke. The sleeves are worked separately and joined to the body at the bottom of the yoke. Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky is a single-ply of soft wool and alpaca that works up quickly.
