Versatile sweater
Versatile is a seamless top down sweater, shaped by invisible increases along the body. Some short rows are worked around the neck. Sleeves are put on hold as you work the body and worked later on in the round. Knitted in stockinette stitch, it features a split hem and a longer back for a relaxed fit. The peculiar shaping of the sweater sits beautifully on the shoulders and its boxy fit is perfect for wearing over a dress or skirt.
Yarn
8 (9, 10, 12, 14) skeins of Breath Gregoria Fibers (50g = 98 yards/90 m)
3 (3, 3, 4, 4) skeins of Lace Gregoria Fibers (50g = 459 yards/420 m)
Optional: You can double on the mohair for extra fluffiness and use two strings of mohair plus one string of your main yarn.
Please note, chunky weight yarn tends to vary more than lighter ones. If substituting yarn, make sure you have enough skeins to complete your project based on your gauge.
