Rainbow Valley Pullover
When I saw this yarn, I was attracted to the vividness of the colours in the rainbow section, and I couldn’t wait to get it on the needles to see how it would knit up. Once I swatched it, it did produce an appealing rainbow stripe pattern, and even the grey in the background has lovely semi-solid tones. It inspired me to create this sweater, and when my daughter saw the swatch she claimed the sweater for herself. The bright colours are perfect for a toddler!
I chose a simple stitch to let the beauty of the yarn shine through, with a textural stripe to echo the stripe pattern created by the dyeing scheme. The seamless design and simplicity of the stitch make this a relatively quick knit, but it does require some grafting under the arms.
