A perfect cardigan for transitional seasons, the lace weight mohair worked on large needles provides just the right amount of warmth for a cool summer night over a tank top or elegant evening wear. The loose fit allows the fabric to move beautifully in the slightest breeze. The flowing shape of the sleeves and body mimic the beautiful Angel’s Trumpet flower. Knit from the top down in one piece, the only finishing required is weaving in the ends. Instructions are included for sleeves to be knit either in the round or flat. If knitted flat, the sleeves require seaming. Use wood needles for best yarn control while working.
