CloudNineSweater
The Cloud Nine Sweater is knit top down with raglan increases. It has a double collar and a fine line pattern on the body and sleeves.
For the rusty version I used two strands of WeAreKnitters’ Touch Me Mohair. For the dark grey version, I used one strand of Drops Air and one strand of Drops Kid Silk held together (I’ve used 5 skeins of Drops Air and 3 skeins of Drops Kid Silk for Size S). Only the version with WAK’s Mohair is tested.
Sizes: (intended to be worn with about 10cm of positive ease)
XS: 105cm (85-95cm bust size)
S: 110cm (95-100cm bust size)
M: 115cm (100-105cm bust size)
L: 120cm (105-110cm bust size)
XL: 125cm (110-115cm bust size)
Needed:
- 4-5 skeins TouchMeMohair or similar
(The sweater is knit with two strands of TouchMeMohair, so if you’re using a different wool keep in mind that it might also change the sweater’s appearance!)
