A few months ago I started a sweater for me, which I had seen last year in an advertisement of a fashion manufacturer (Cambio, see photos). Oversized, really oversized :), mohair and lots of stripes. I ordered my favourite Mohair yarn (ITO Sensai) and tried to copy it. I already shared a photo some weeks ago on Instagram.
I’ve worn it countless times since it was finished. A very beloved sweater!! So much that I wanted to make another one. This time I used the combination Kinu / Sensai. Overall less colours, but new colours for the autumn. You can see it here
I love this sweater as much as the first sweater. So I ordered some yarn for the third sweater last week This time I want it to be monochrome… Kinu in Gold Oak and Sensai in Burnt Umber. This is the colour of one of the stripes of the second sweater.
I will write a pattern for the sweater, but only in one colour. The colour combinations of my striped samples I give here and on the other project page.
Due to the many colours, the project is very expensive. My second version, Kinu and Sensai together and less colors is much cheaper and just as beautiful.
