Originally saw this yarn in Lincraft Canberra. Recently saw it in Spotlight.
Added a frill (5mm needle) at bottom to make jumper a bit longer but shorter than a tunic, like here http://www.ravelry.com/projects/KeTreKo/01-pulli-mit-rund...
To increase for the frill just knitted with two strands of yarn to double the stitch count. After that row went back to one strand. Frill was knitted on wrong side, so looked like garter stitch on right side.

Decided will not increase after waist decrease. Stitch count 185 instead of pattern 172. Will continue to knit for another 6” or so and then add a ruffle to result in a tunic length to wear over trousers - see link above.

Raced to the finish line so I could wash and dry on a hot day, in time for my next knitting group meeting.

I decided to remove the frilled hem as I didn’t like it anymore! It took 2 hours to unravel.
First I added in some feature garter rows before a 3 x3 rib him, but it bulged slightly. The 3x3 rib hem was also too tight using a lace bind off.
Unravelled for a second time and knitted a few extra rows in stockinette followed by 3x3 rib hem again. This time used very easy and stretchy bind off from Very Pink Knits, which I can highly recommend. Didn’t bother binding off in pattern as wouldn’t have seen the result in fluffy mohair. Just bound off as for knit stitch. See video https://youtu.be/SbzeEg6XMwM
Jenys surprisingly stretchy bind offs - not used this time, but useful to note for other projects:
