The Layer No. 1 Sweater is the ultimate expression of “cloud-like” comfort. Designed to be a staple in any hand-knit wardrobe, this oversized, boxy silhouette is worked with two strands of delicate lace-weight mohair held together on 8 mm needles. The result is a semi-sheer, ethereal fabric that is incredibly light yet surprisingly warm.

Featuring bold, graphic stripes and a modern drop-shoulder construction, the Layer No. 1 balances high-impact style with an effortless knitting experience.

The design is punctuated by refined technical details, including a tailored neckline shaped with short rows and finished with a sophisticated I-cord bind-off. Whether paired with your favorite denim or layered over a slip dress, this sweater is designed to feel as light as air and as cozy as a second skin.
