Valley Yarns 078 Parhelia PDF

Valley Yarns Designer Series presents Parhelia, a gorgeous hat and mitten set knit in Taconic. A large cable accents the back of the mittens with an unusual thumb gusset shaping. The cables on the hat will make heads turn! Both are knit in the round from the bottom up. Valley Yarns Taconic is a soft blend of Merino wool and cashmere, with multicolored tweedy flecks that give the finished fabric a fantastic visual texture. The cable pattern is charted and written out.
