Pampas plume is a light, feminine and airy sweater worked with three strands of yarn (doubling on the mohair) held together. The combination of soft fibers turns into a cloud-like fabric with great halo. The sweater has an easy and minimalistic shape with a beautiful leaf lace detail at the bottom. It is knitted from the bottom up and the sleeves are knitted by picking up he stitches from the body.

Yarn
You’ll use three strands together to knit this sweater – two of lace and one of fingering. If substituting, make sure you achieve gauge.
4 (5, 5) skeins ofBalance Gregoria Fibers (50g = 230 yards/210 m) or 790 (840, 890) m of fingering yarn.
4 (4, 5) skeins of Mohair Lace Gregoria Fibers (50g = 460 yards/420 m) (Held double) or 1350 (1600, 1890) m of lace mohair yarn.

Needles
US 10 (6 mm) 32” and/or 40” (80 and/or 100 cm) circular needles for lace pattern, body and sleeves or the right needle size to achieve gauge.
US 8 (5 mm) 16” and/or 24” (40 and/or 60 cm) circular needles for ribbing or the right needle size to achieve gauge.

Gauge
12 sts x 24 rows = 3 x 5.3” (8 x 13,5 cm) on US 10 (6 mm) needles – this is what a repeat of pattern no.1 measures when knitted in the round after blocking.
23 sts x 15 rows = 4 x 4” (10x10 cm) on US 10 / 6 mm needles in stockinette stitch in the round after blocking.
Both stitch and row gauge are crucial for this project. Make sure you achieve gauge by changing needle size if necessary.
