‘Mohair Crush Sweater’ is a lightweight and airy sweater, knit top-down in six strands of stockinette mohair, giving it a soft and luxurious look. It has an oversized fit with wide, airy sleeves, making it both comfortable and stylish. The pattern is beginner-friendly and works up quickly on US 15 (10 mm) needles.
The sweater is knit using multiple strands, which allows for creative color play. You can knit it in a single color for a classic look, use a fixed color mix (e.g., two strands of each color), or combine different colors and leftover yarn for a more vibrant and personal result.

‘Mohair Crush Sweater’ is designed for playing with colors. The 6 strands can be combined in many ways, allowing for both planned and intuitive color transitions. You can work with gradual ombré-like shifts, a fixed color mix, or random combinations of leftover yarns. In all methods, the colors emerge from the way the strands are combined. There are no right or wrong choices - let your plan or spontaneity guide you, and create a look that is uniquely yours. Since color transitions and combinations are personal, it’s a good idea to decide on your color scheme and yarn amounts before you begin, and to check yarn usage for the size you are knitting. This ensures that your chosen colors are sufficient for your sweater. .
