Mohair Long Cardigan is an irresistibly soft, relaxed-fit long cardigan. This style uses Mohair So Soft, a uniquely chunky (and fuzzy!) yarn composed of 47% super kid mohair and 53% extra fine merino wool. The construction of this cardigan couldn’t be simpler: you’ll start knitting stockinette stitch at the base of the back panel and then divide to knit up and over the shoulders, creating two separate front panels, which will later be seamed to the back panel. Sleeves will be created by picking up stitches and then knitting in the round. The pattern also includes instructions for an optional I-cord waist belt and belt loops.
