The Cardigan

This pattern can be varied indefinitely when it comes to both shape and color. Work it long or short, with slim or wide sleeves. Add a strand of gold if you feel like it, or make up your own little detail. Mixing two strands of mohair with another fine strand of yarn results in a light fluffy but stabile knitting. All cardigans are worked in three strands of yarn: two strands of fine silk mohair (app 70% mohair, 30% silk, 25 g = 231 yd / 212 m) and a third fine strand (i.e. wool, 50 g = app 325-440 yd / 300-400 m).
