Cloudy is a close-fitting, lightweight turtleneck worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is shaped with increases along four raglan lines, while short-row back-neck shaping provides a comfortable and balanced fit.

The airy mohair fabric is exceptionally light, soft, fluffy, and warm. The slim silhouette makes Cloudy easy to wear on its own or as a layering piece under a blazer, coat, or other outerwear.

The sample is worked in Kremke Kid Cotton.
