DIY Kit - Scandinavian Sweater - Mohair So Soft
DIY Kit - Scandinavian Sweater
This easy colorwork sweater is worked in the round from the neck to the armholes, then stitches are placed on hold for the sleeves while the body is worked in the round to the bottom edge. When the body is complete, the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuff.
This sweater can also be made in Dream yarn.
If you would like to make this sweater in a solid color (without colorwork) you will need to purchase yarn in the amount specified just for the main color and purchase the pattern separately.
