This lightweight mohair top by Sarah Hatton is a modern and versatile garment. It has a stripe pattern that uses just three shades of Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze; strands are worked together in different combinations to create an almost ombre effect. The jumper has a curved front hem, shaped using short rows, and sleeves featuring a textured stitch which contrasts well with the plain body of the garment.
