Valley Yarns 992 Neapolitan

Valley Yarns Neapolitan is kind of a cross between a shrug and a cardigan. The exceptional construction of this piece offers you the best of both worlds knit in Granville. The chevron pattern has a retro feel,
but the style is absolutely modern, and Neapolitan is rather flattering on most
figures and will be a workhorse in every knitter’s wardrobe. The upper body is
worked flat in rows in four colors. The piece is folded in half lengthwise and
seamed from the edges toward the center for the short sleeves and bodice.
Stitches for the bottom half are picked up from the base of the bodice and
worked back and forth in rows to form the lower half of the cardigan. Valley
Yarns Granville is a gorgeous blend of Pima cotton and Merino wool that is
fantastic for warm-weather garments like t-shirts, tanks, and cardigans.
Colorwork and textured stitches will shine with Granville. The chevron stitch pattern is charted and written out, and the color sequence is in chart form only.
