Breath of Spring
About The Design:
This cardigan is like a breath of spring - almost lighter than air, as it is knit at a loose gauge. It is the perfect coverup for a spring day or a cool summer evening.
La Gran mohair yarn is an ideal yarn choice for the sweater, as the brushed mohair fills in the stitches just enough to soften the loose gauge, and the yarn’s strength ensures that the fabric will wear well.
For a smoother look, try Lily Chin’s Tribeca – this is my personal favorite!
