Wisp Afghan
Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Holiday 2007: “Theresa Schabes holds two slightly different shades of mohair together to knit her Wisp Afghan, giving a subtly variegated, handpainted look to the finished fabric. A simple knit/purl texture pattern, worked on a large scale, gives the afghan a complex woven appearance.”
Finished Size: 63” wide and 66” long.
Yarn: Classic Elite La Gran Mohair (76.5% mohair, 17.5% wool, 6% nylon; 90 yd 82 m/42 g): #6592 lupine and #61530 periwinkle, 14 balls each.
Needles: Size 15 (10 mm). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Tapestry Needle
Afghan is worked with two strands held together. Total yarn requirement listed is 14 balls each of two colors.
