DIFFICULTY: 3/5
This pattern contains some slightly challenging techniques; twisted rib and german short rows. The entire pattern is explained in great detail though, so it is a great introduction to these techniques, if you’re new to them and want to try!
Please keep in mind that what I find difficult, you might find easy and vice versa. The stated difficulty is an estimation based on my testknitters experiences.

YARN SUGGESTIONS
The top is worked in 2 threads of kid silk mohair.
My top is worked in handdyed mohair by YarnJunkies. I also enjoy working with Super Kid Mohair by Rico and Kid Seta by Gepard Garn.
For a more budget friendly option, I really like Super Kid Silk by Mayflower!
