Valley Yarns Tulloch Tartan is knit in two square-shaped main pieces, back and forth in rows from the ribbed hem to the short-row shaped shoulders in Northfield. This poncho makes a dramatic statement with super-size plaid and the ribbed cowl neck and cuffs ups its coziness factor, so it’s the perfect outerwear for a chilly evening. Vertical plaid lines are added with crochet slip-stitching into the purl channels in the body after the front, and back pieces are complete. Valley Yarns Northfield is a glorious blend of Merino, baby alpaca, and silk. This DK weight is perfect for garments and accessories that you want to be warm and cozy. The vertical plaid lines are charted.
