Valley Yarns Designer Series presents Safford, a fun, lacy women’s tank knit in Granville, perfect as the weather heats up! The pullover features open sides that can be buttoned down and wide lace ribbing that is a quick knit since the yarn is held double throughout. Safford is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up. The neckband stitches are picked up along the neck edge and worked in the round. Valley Yarns Granville is a gorgeous blend of Pima cotton and Merino wool that is fantastic for warm-weather garments.
