A perfect project for beginners: Anyone who ever had concerns about knitting mohair wool can really be won over by this sweater. The oversized cut and the wide neckline ensure that nothing scratches here. In addition, the sweater is wonderfully warm but also light as a feather: For size S the weight is just 120 g (when using the original yarn)!

Clea is an oversized sweater with a simple cut, worked from the bottom up in the round first, then in rows after splitting into back and front. Most of the sweater is worked in stockinette stitch, only the hems and both sides of the armholes are worked in a simple ribbing. After closing the shoulder seams, the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down directly to the armholes.
