Eila jacket is knitted from the bottom up with a simple structure over the entire jacket. It is knitted in double thread mohair which makes it both flyffy, light and airy, at the same time as it warms well. The arms are knitted on with raglan. The pattern is relatively light, but due to the fact that you have to decrease meanwhile continuing with the pattern it requires a lightly practiced knitter

You can use any mohair with approximately 200 m per 25 g.

Alternative - if you want a jacket with more hold, you can knit it with a thread of mohair and a thread with gauge 28 st per 10 cm. Just remember to test which needle you need to have to get 20 stitches per 10 cm, no matter which yarn you choose. For example, you need 4 skeins Sunday from Sandnes and 4 skeins of mohair (with a running length of about 220 m per 25 g) for the largest size.
