Valley Yarns Designer Series Baby Brightling by Meghan Jones is a cute baby drop sleeve cardigan with a cozy shawl collar knit in Valley Superwash DK. The Brightling Baby sweater is a simple knit and full of easy texture that will be adorable on the little darling in your life. Cardigan fronts are worked separately from the bottom up, and the back is worked from the top down. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole edges and knit down to the cuffs. Valley Yarns Valley Superwash DK is made from 100% extra fine Merino, which makes it incredibly soft and an excellent choice for both kids’ and adults’ projects. Valley Superwash DK is machine-washable in cold water with a gentle detergent or Eucalan. The cable patterns are in chart form only.
