Back Country Trails has unisex appeal with its garter rib texture and central cable focal point on the front. Knit in Valley Yarns Becket, this cozy pullover, with its relaxed fit and mock turtleneck, will be warm and comfortable to wear even as the temperatures drop. Back Country Trails is knit in the round from the hem up to the underarms where the back and fronts are completed separately and seamed at the shoulders to provide structure. Sleeves are also knit in the round from the bottom up to the knit-flat sleeve cap before being seamed into place. Cable pattern is both charted and written out.
