Valley Yarns’ Ashfield is the perfect combination of bamboo and wool for warmer weather projects. The drape of bamboo and the loftiness of wool combine in this pretty pullover worked with simple lace. Dolman sleeves are cast on and worked at the same time with complimenting lace patterning while seaming gives this garment structure and form.

Notes: The sweater is worked in two pcs from the bottom up.

For best results, we recommend blocking the two pcs before sewing the seams and finishing the neckline and cuffs.
