“FLEUR” pullover by
Woolly Hooligan Designs

Inspiration:
This is a luxurious knit. It is a cashmere, silk and mohair combo. I do not think it can get any better. Non itchy to bare skin. Feels like it is cocooning you with velvety coziness. The fabric is soft fluffy, elegant with a bit of shimmer. I just adore it. I choose a relatively simple stitch and repetition as to accent the potential of this yarn. Sometimes doing too much can take away from this incredible fiber. This pullover will be a staple in my wardrobe for many years.

Special thank you to Sigrun Jones for technical edits on this pattern.
