Valley Yarns Tramontana is a flattering women’s color-block pullover to keep you warm in style knit in Becket. This sweater is knit in a four-row stranded colorwork transition that separates each block of color in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Becket is a favorite in the Valley Yarns line and its scrumptious blend of superfine alpaca and wool have us all ready to put it to work. Gently heathered colors give your sweater a rich feel, while the alpaca creates next-to-skin softness you’ll love. The color block patterns are in chart form only. This pattern is only available as a PDF download!
