In a warm bouclé mohair, this cardigan has a garter stitch border to define the lower edge, cuffs, front edge bands and the round neckline.

Knit the one-piece body from the lower edge upwards, and set in the sleeves.

Hold the bouclé mohair yarn double with a wool-silk yarn for a thicker fabric as in the yellow cardigan. Or for an optional thinner fabric knit with a single bouclé mohair thread.

Thank you to my friend Linda for the inspiration to reinterpret her vintage Chanel-style cardigan.

One size - fits medium

For the cardigan in yellow bouclé mohair and wool-silk held double, I used 705 yards of:
1) Halcyon Victorian Bouclé Mohair, yellow color #3080, 4 x 3-oz skeins, and
2) JaggerSpun Zephyr Wool-Silk 2/18, yellow color #0274024, 2 x 600 yard cones. (Bought from Halcyon Yarns).
