This light mohair granny cardigan is a pleasure to wear because it is warm and very light weight. You can vary yourself in use of color and type of yarn. If you use a different type of yarn, this can have an effect on the measurements. You can easily adjust the length of this cardigan. The entire pattern is supported with a line drawing which shows the number of stitches. Refer to the line drawing at all steps.
