About this pattern
An airy, fluffy summer sweater knitted from the top down with two strands of soft mohair-silk yarn held together. The seamless construction makes it easy to adjust the length. The front is worked first, then the back is picked up from the shoulder edges, and body and sleeves are knitted in the round. Wide, flared sleeves give it a relaxed shape. Suitable for ambitious beginners, sizes S–XL.
