While I was working on this sweater, carrying it around in a clear plastic bag I realized that it looked just like cotton candy. Like cotton candy, it is made in one piece and swirled around to create the finished product. Not only does it work up great in mohair, but a smooth yarn works just as well.

The pink mohair is Plymouth Yarn, Imperiale Super Kid Mohair.
The green is Plymouth Yarn, Somerset, a cotton/silk blend.

Short rows are used to create a circular shape for this one piece cardigan. Being familiar with the short row technique is recommended although a detailed description is supplied.
