The Boheme Sweater is a beautiful, voluminous mohair sweater with undertones from the 80s glamour. It is knit in double thread mohair/silk and is therefore soft and lightweight. The Boheme Sweater consists of a front and a back piece which are knit separately from the bottom up, flat (forth and back), after which stitches are collected to construct the sides and sleeves, which are knit forth and back and sewn together. The fine details of the cable knit and lace across the front and back add a beautiful, feminine touch. The sleeve construction with sleeves knit across adds a unique cut.
