Valley Yarns Heather is a stunning gender-neutral pullover knit in Westfield. The classic cabled sweater features intricate cable panels running up the center front, back, and sleeves. Heather is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked in the round down to the cuff. The neckband stitches are picked up along the neck edge and worked in round. Each of the fibers in Westfield takes the dye slightly differently, resulting in beautifully nuanced shades that will add depth to your sweater. The cable panel is charted and written out.
