The Yoga Mohair sweater is a light, short sweater with a relaxed fit, crew neckline, wide side slits, and short sleeves. The soft collar gently rests on the shoulders without pressing the neck. The side slits taper down, shaped with k2togL and k2togR decreases, giving freedom of movement and comfort.
This sweater is worked from the top down in Stockinette stitch and can easily be lengthened before starting the side slits – just make sure to have extra yarn.
Knitted with mohair yarn, it feels light as air against the skin, yet keeps you warm. Mohair’s natural fluffiness adds elegance, breathability, and a gentle halo, making the piece ideal for wearing over leggings at home, for light activity, or outdoor moments in cooler weather. The Yoga Mohair sweater is comfort, ease, and softness in one.
