Notes

Wish there was a super super happy face to show how much I love this pattern and my new Franca!!

The way the shoulder fits is insane!! Tailored and relaxed all at the same time!

I added an embroidered pink mohair panel to the back, a pink go-faster stripe at the nape of the neck, and pink pocket linings!

The combo of the Krea Deluxe mohair (2 strands) and Silk Yak (one strand) makes for THE MOST LUXURIOUS FABRIC IN THE WORLD!!!

I’m going to make another. This cardigan is the bomb!!!
