Description
The Nigrum Sweater V-Neck is an elegant, classic, and feminine raglan sweater with a deep V-neck and a subtle eyelet pattern between the raglan increases. The sleeves are ¾ length sleeve, but the sweater is knitted from the top down, allowing you to adjust the length of both the sleeves and the body.

Sizes
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL)

Finished Measurements
Bust width: approximately 90 (94) 100 (106) 110 (114) 119 (124) cm.

Sleeve length measured from under the armhole: approximately 33 (35) 36 (38) 39 (39) 39 (39) cm.

Body length measured from the center back (CB): approximately 48 (50) 52 (56) 57 (57) 58 (59) cm.

The sweater is designed with a positive ease of 0-10 cm. The model in the photo has a bust measurement of approximately 84 cm and is wearing a size XS with about 6 cm of positive ease. The recommendation is to aim for a wide ease in the smaller sizes and a narrower ease in the larger sizes.

Materials
150 (175/200) 175/200 (200) 225/250 (250) 250 (250) g of thin silk mohair. You can choose to knit with hand-dyed silk mohair from @detlillefarveri (420 m/50 g) or one of the many other thin silk mohair options available, such as Soft Silk Mohair from Knitting for Olive (225m/25 g), Önling No. 10 from Önling (210 m/25 g), or Silk Mohair from Isager Yarn (212 m/25 g). You will need to knit with 2 strands held together.

The amount needed after the slash indicates the quantity required if knitting with hand-dyed yarn, which typically comes in 50 g skeins.

The sweater in the photo is knitted with 2 strands of hand-dyed silk mohair from @detlillefarveri in the color “Old Rose.”

You can choose a different yarn if you maintain the correct gauge.

In addition to yarn, you will need 10 stitch markers.

Recommended Needles
The sweater is knitted in stockinette stitch on a 4 mm circular needle (80 cm) with 2 strands of silk mohair.

All ribbing is knitted on a 3 mm circular needle (80 cm).

I recommend the Magic Loop method for knitting the sleeves and ribbing. If you do not use the Magic Loop method, you will also need a 4 mm circular needle (40 cm) and a 3 mm circular needle (40 cm).

Gauge
19 sts x 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm on 4 mm needles, worked back and forth and in the round in stockinette stitch.
