Leilani Cardigan
Leilani combines a slightly tonal base yarn with a contrasting mohair strand to give a beautiful light marl and a halo.
Choose your favorite combination from any of Purl Soho’s amazing colors!
Absolutely no seaming with a top-down construction, featuring a high crew neck, set in sleeves and a hint of waist shaping.
Construction: Sweater is knit top down, beginning with the neck and shoulder shaping, then sleeves are increased and continued to the underarm. The body is divided and continued with waist shaping. Sleeves are then picked up and worked in the round to the cuff. The button band is picked up and worked last.
