Notes

The “Mohair by Wendy” yarn label did not offer much information as to the specific yardage nor product line. The material is 67% Mohair, 28% Wool, and 5% nylon. Both this and the Plassard yarn came in a mystery bag from Flying Fingers. Schulana came from a prize bag won from the ‘17 NJ Wool Walk.

The pattern is a fast and fun knit!

Done! The end result isn’t too pretty, but I would most certainly do this again. Mohair is hard to frog or tink, but this pattern is forgiving enough to accommodate small mistakes.
