Cumulus Blouse V-Neck Knitting Kit – PetiteKnit x African Expressions Hope Mohair Create a soft, cloud-light handmade garment with the Cumulus Blouse V-Neck Knitting Kit. Designed by PetiteKnit, the Cumulus Blouse is an elegant mohair sweater with a deep rounded V-neck, delicate i-cord edges and a beautifully simple stockinette finish. This curated knitting kit includes the printed PetiteKnit pattern, African Expressions Hope 2ply Mohair in your chosen colour, and stitch holder cords — with the number of yarn balls included according to your selected size. Knitted with two strands of lace-weight mohair held together throughout, the Cumulus Blouse V-Neck has a light, airy texture while still offering warmth and softness. It is a timeless layering piece that feels refined, wearable and wonderfully handmade. About the Cumulus Blouse V-Neck The Cumulus Blouse is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch with two strands of thin mohair yarn held together throughout. The yoke is first worked back and forth while shaping the V-neck, then joined in the round for the rest of the sweater. All edges are finished with i-cord for a neat, polished look. This design is soft, feminine and minimal, with a gently relaxed fit that makes it easy to wear over dresses, skirts, trousers or jeans. Yarn Included: African Expressions Hope 2ply Mohair This kit uses African Expressions Hope, a lace-weight / 2ply brushed mohair yarn with a luminous, airy handle. Hope is made from 80% Kid Mohair and 20% Polyamide, with 212m per 25g ball. African Expressions Hope creates a beautifully soft, brushed fabric with delicate halo and excellent lightness, making it a lovely match for the Cumulus Blouse.
