DETAILS
A stylish sweater that’s quite simple to knit with interesting and easy to work details. The sweater body is knit with a single strand of worsted weight yarn with a stand-up funnel neck embellished with diamond mohair motifs and corrugated ribbed cuffs and hem. A great pattern for an adventurous beginner. The instructions are written for the sweater itself with a chart for the stranded mohair diamond motifs.

FIT & SIZE
Size 1 = 41”/104cm, Size 2 = 49”/124.5 cm, Size 3 = 57”/145 cm, Size 4 = 64”/162.5cm. Sizes based on finished bust circumference.

This garment is to be made with quite a bit of positive ease; I would suggest approx. 4-12” or 10-30 cm of ease but knit what you are most comfortable wearing. This sweater is a slightly boxy style so meant to be ample in the bust and torso. Super Cozy!

Sample shown in size 2 on a 38”/96.5cm bust.

Such a small amount of yarn is required for the CC(1or2) & Mohair (1 or 2), so such a great way to use up scraps. Please use any yarn that alone or combines to be a thicker weight than the MC for a fuller more saturated effect.
