Valley Yarns 1355 Braeburn PDF

Valley Yarns Braeburn is a drapey drop-shoulder topper with a soft and luxurious feel. With its versatile style, this pullover will pair with leggings, skirts, and dress pants with ease to create a wide variety of outfits. Braeburn is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up with seams at the sides and a three-needle bind-off joining the shoulders. The body pieces begin with an I-cord hem for a clean-lined edge, and they are worked straight to the underarms where graduated cast-ons create the dolman sleeves. Seams lend structure to the finished sweater while cashmere blend Valley Yarns Brodie gives its velvety soft feel and gentle drape. Braeburn gives you sweatshirt comfort with a put-together graceful style that makes it a must-knit for your fall and winter wardrobe!
