This quick-to-knit sweater is airy and lightweight. Loose ribbing at the hem and cuffs gives it a lived-in look. Holding three strands of lace-weight yarn together—two mohair, one smooth—we chose high contrast colors for a smudgy marl. Closer tones will render a soft, pretty wash of color for a more tonal look. This 8-page pattern includes: Color photography by Laura Gehring. Special Techniques–Invisible Cast-on, Sewn Invisible Bind-off, 'Clip & Turn' Short Row Shaping. Swatching for gauge and fabric. Instructions for adjusting body and sleeve length. Clear sizing schematic. Instructions for seaming, blocking, and finishing your piece. FINISHED SIZES Sizes: S (M, L, XL).
