Fir Rib Sweater

*Choose one color of DK weight yarn like West Wool Tandem and a matching shade of Glowhair to knit this sweater with a fluffy mohair halo. The pattern begins at the top with the twisted rib collar. Raglan increases shape the yoke as you work textured stitches like twisted ribbing, cables, and an elegant dip stitch. The fabric features a subtle halo thanks to the lace weight mohair silk carried together with a matching color of DK weight wool.
