Valley Yarns Tarragon is a women’s pullover with an allover Box Stitch texture that defines this sweater, adding dimension and stitch definition to its boxy shape. This is a perfect “first sweater” project for newer knitters who need a casual weekend sweater! Tarragon is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up, and the sleeves are knit top-down to the textured cuffs. Valley Yarns Peru is a spectacular blend of baby alpaca, merino wool, with a hint of nylon. The slightly heathered look adds interest to the final, finished fabric. The Box Stitch is charted and written out.
