Chain Sweater by Pope Vergara
“Chain” is your canvas to experiment, create, and elevate your knitting to a new level of personal expression. This lovely and unusual yoke sweater knitted from the top down seamlessly stands out for its unique play of colors and textures using the unique Artyarns yarns. This design is a visual pleasure and an adventure in innovative techniques. With “Chain,” you will weave in an i-cord as you knit—the i-cord is created with the very soft Artyarns Mohair Glitter. The lovely lace is worked in the center of the yoke using Artyarns Beaded Mohair and Sequins. The body is knitted with the luxurious Artyarns Merino Cloud (80 Merino/20 Cashmere). When you knit this with the luxurious Artyarns yarns it was designed for, you will love wearing it so much you’ll never want to take this sweater off.
