Emery is a timeless classic, with two versions: a sleeveless vest and a long-sleeved pullover. Both versions come in 10 sizes and are worked seamlessly from the top down (yay!).
This design uses a light worsted yarn (Shelter) together with a strand of mohair. You can substitute this combination with a traditional heavy worsted yarn.

I wrote this pattern inspired by a book character. She is strong and powerful, a gentle warrior, with a fierce heart.
