Composition:
Casia Sweater Mohair Only is a short and feminine sweater with 3⁄4 length puff sleeves. The sweater does not need any final sewing despite the puff sleeves, as they are shaped with the help of in- and decreases. The sweater is knit top down, so you can easily adjust the length at both the body and sleeves while knitting. By knitting short rows, the neck line is slightly higher at the back. This sweater is supposed to be worn with an approx. 5- 10 cm positive ease. If your bust measurement is 84 cm, you should choose a size XS.

Sizes:
XS (S) M (L) XL

Finished measurements:
Bust measurement: 90 (94) 100 (106) 110 cm.

Materials:

The pictured model is knit with one thread of light yellow and one thread of light green hand-dyed Kid Seta from Gepard Garn. When holding two different colors together you have to use 200 g knitting XS and 300 g knitting L and XL.

You can choose any other yarn, as long as you obtain the correct gauge. See a list of suggested yarn alternatives here: About the designs (English) / Om modellerne (dansk).
