A cosy knit with room to relax, The Mohair Sweater combines drop shoulders, extra-wide sleeves and generous cuffs with a beautifully loose fit. Its simple design lets the fuzzy texture of your chosen yarn shine, making it a lovely layer to pull on with your favourite everyday outfit.
Knitted seamlessly from the top down in 12ply mohair, this oversized sweater works up quickly with no seaming to finish.
Construction
Worked from the top down, with a few short rows at the start to refine the fit.
The back and front are knitted flat, then joined at the underarms.
The body continues in the round.
Sleeve stitches are picked up and knitted in the round to the cuffs.

Yarn
Choose a 12ply mohair yarn, or another yarn with plenty of fuzz, that achieves the pattern gauge. Touch Yarns 12ply Mohair is one suggested option. Use the metreage above to calculate the quantity needed for your chosen yarn.
Needles
9mm / US 13 circular needle, or the size needed to obtain gauge, with a suggested 80cm / approximately 31.5-inch cord.
6mm / US 10 circular needle with a suggested 80cm / approximately 31.5-inch cord.
The sleeves and neckline use the magic loop method. A shorter circular needle or double-pointed needles may be used instead.
If your swatch has too many stitches across 10cm, try a larger needle. If it has too few stitches, try a smaller needle. Swatch again to check both stitch and row gauge.
