Cozy cardigan with short sleeves. Light and fluffy. Knitted from the top down using one strand of Handdyed Fat Mohair held together with one strand of Handdyed Silk Mohair, but it can also be knitted with just one strand of Handdyed Fat Mohair.
The cardigan is knitted in garter stitch. First, the upper back is knitted with short rows to shape the shoulders. Then, the collar is knitted starting at the center back. Following the collar, stitches are picked up for the front pieces, and short rows are knitted as on the back. After the sleeves are bound off, the body is knitted back and forth in garter stitch until short rows are worked again for added length at the back, finishing with a ribbed hem.
