A fluffy mohair tee to throw on with jeans, with just enough texture to feel a little dressed up. Our November Kit of the Month brings together the Candyfloss Tee pattern by Stitch Parade and Crucci Nimbus for a relaxed, airy knit.
Worked with Nimbus held double on 8 mm and 9 mm circular needles, this is a quick, fun project with elongated stitches and a wide slash neckline.

How It's Knitted
The body is worked in the round to the underarm, then divided so the front and back can be worked flat. Three-stitch I-cord edges frame the panels, and the shoulders are joined to form the wide slash neckline. Elongated stitches give the fabric its light, subtly translucent texture.
Needles and Tension
You will need 8 mm and 9 mm circular needles, 80 or 100 cm long. Please supply your own needles.
Pattern tension: 9.5 stitches and 14 rows or rounds to 10 cm in stocking stitch, measured after steam blocking. Make and block a swatch before starting, and adjust your needle size if needed. Use this pattern tension rather than Nimbus's standard single-strand yarn tension.
