Valley Yarns Myrtle is an over-sized, super comfy women’s v-neck pullover with split hems. Knit in Worthington, the sweater features a simple yet striking waffle knit-and-purl stitch texture, dropped shoulders with full sleeves, and a stockinette collar, making it a versatile layering piece. Myrtle is knit flat in two pieces from the bottom up, and then joined and worked in the round to the armholes. The sleeves are picked up along the armhole edge and worked in the round to the cuffs. The Thermal Rib stitch pattern is charted and written out.
