Sunday Cardigan Mohair Edition - Petite Knit

The Sunday Cardigan – Mohair Edition is a soft, cloudlike cardigan worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is shaped in rib with integrated increases that form a gentle round silhouette. The body is knitted back and forth in stockinette stitch and finished with a classic ribbed band. The sleeves are worked in the round, long and slightly puffed for that signature PetiteKnit look.

This pattern uses multiple strands of mohair held together to create a lofty, gentle halo and an incredibly lightweight but warm fabric.
