Description
Valley Yarns Snapdragon is a stunning women’s lace pullover knit in Hampden. The sweater features an allover lace pattern, a ballerina neckline, dropped shoulders, and set-in sleeves. Snapdragon is a festive and cozy cropped pullover that is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked down to the cuffs. Valley Yarns Hampden is a stunningly soft blend of baby alpaca, Merino wool, and silk, available in a palette of rich, saturated colors. This yarn has a beautiful balance of warmth, drape, and sheen from its fiber content, making it fantastic for this project. The lace patterns are charted and written out.
