Essex is the perfect choice for the young car and train enthusiast in your life! This crewneck pullover sports a circular colorwork yoke with cars racing across, trains circling the hem, and contrasting color trims. Knit in Valley Yarns Valley Superwash DK, Essex is worked in the round from the bottom up. The sleeves are joined to the body at the underarm, and the yoke is then worked in one piece. Once you cast off the neckband stitches, all that remains is to graft the underarms, making it simple to get finished and gifted to a special kid in your life. Stranded Colorwork patterns are charted only.
