Stranded colorwork that looks complex but isn’t. The forgiving mohair halo blends colors and hides imperfections, making this a confident first step into colorwork. The repeats are simple, the floats are easy to manage (you don't need to carry colors that are not used in certain rows and mohair ends are very easy to weave in with a felting needle).
At the same time, the softened, painterly effect keeps it interesting if you are an experienced knitter who wants something different from traditional stranded motifs.
The body of this sweater is worked in two pieces: the front panel and back panel. Each panel is knit flat from the bottom-up. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body and worked in the round from the shoulder to the cuff.
Both body panels and sleeves feature stranded colorwork throughout.
This sweater can also be made in Dream yarn.
