CONSTRUCTION
The BOXY CARDIGAN (mohair edition) is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and shoulder stitches. Once worked down to length, stitches for the back are placed on hold and the front stitches are picked up and worked for each side. Stitches for all pieces are joined with underarm cast ons and worked back and forth until desired length is reached. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, and the collar is picked up and worked back and forth in double stockinette.

If you find mohair is an issue to wear, I suggest trying Suri Alpaca blend yarn. This fluffier and will create a more halo look in your work.
