Valley Yarns Cayenne, knit in Valley Superwash DK, is a fabulous fun and practical pullover that showcases zigzag colorwork stripes. Cayenne is worked in the round from the bottom up to the underarm. The sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked down in the round to the cuffs. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash DK is made from 100% extra fine Merino, which makes it incredibly soft and an excellent choice for this pullover, and it is also machine-washable. The colorwork patterns are in chart form only.
