Pitaya is a solid-color version of a yoke sweater with a textured stitch pattern that includes purl and twist stitches knit in Amherst. Its fitted design has waist
shaping and a feminine scoop neck and sits at mid-hip. The body and sleeves are
worked separately, in the round from the bottom up, and then the sleeve
stitches are joined to the body. Valley Yarns Amherst is a smooth worsted
weight yarn that beautifully shows texture and stitch patterns and has a wide
range of colors perfect for this women’s pullover. The diamond yoke pattern is charted and written out.
