INTRODUCTION

Velvet

by Myrrhia Resneck

Velvet is a simple, top-down, cropped, three-quarter sleeve sweater. This light, simple layer is great for cool nights during the transition from Spring to Summer weather.

Velvet strives for a purity of design and line, keeping with the specialness of the yarn. The yarn is made from Foxfibre®, an undyed organic cotton. This naturally colored cotton was bred by the plant scientist Sally Fox over decades.

With yarn grown organically in the USA, spun and woven into a chenille construction in the Carolinas, knitting yourself a top with this yarn results in a made-in-the-USA garment like no other. In the photos, Sally’s daughter, Marcella, is modeling the sweater among the rosey cotton bolls of Sally’s breeding farm in the Capay Valley of California.

This pattern is "try-on-as-you-go," so it is easy to adjust length of the body and sleeves to your fit preference. Sleeves are loose and then gather at the cuff. If you can cast on, knit, purl, and knit in the round, this pattern will coach you how to increase, decrease, and work invisible short rows.
