Wishing for a light, soft, and dreamy project? Sophisticated comfort is at the core of this lovely garment, which showcases the delicate halo of lace-weight mohair combined elegantly with the subtle colors of hand-painted fingering weight wool. Sweater and swatch for this project are worked with the wool and mohair yarns held double and worked at the same time.

Body is worked as one piece in turned rounds from hem to armholes. Sleeves are worked in turned rounds from cuff to armhole. Body and sleeves are joined for yoke, leaving a short span of fabric underarm for subsequent seaming. Yoke starts as a modified raglan and ends as a circular yoke with calculated decreases.
