Note: For the cuffs you will need to use magic loop method when using size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). To avoid magic loop for cuffs you will need to use an additional set of size US 17 (12 mm) DPN’s.
NOTE: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.
Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. As with any soft chunky natural fiber, some shedding will occur. For further information and tips, please consult our Fiber Care Guide.
Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.
*Due to delicate nature of mohair fiber, some shedding may occur.
Top-Down Cardigan is a sumptuously soft and chunky cardigan knit in our Mohair So Soft yarn. As the name denotes, it’s knit top-down in one piece with familiar raglan shaping and, of course, we have video tutorials to walk you through any new-to-you techniques. It is knit seamlessly and you can easily adjust the length by adding more rows at the end.
Shown in Legally Pink (M), Mimosa (M), Pretty In Pink (S), and Dark Secret (M).
