I created this pattern to make a very lightweight breathable summer blouse that is insanely easy to read and knit. For an unexperienced and beginner knitter who wants to make something while watching a tv show or go socializing or pay attention to a lecture. If you mess up it will look punk rock and intentional. This pattern is probably inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s Hangman jumper from the 1970’s. You do not need to gauge swatch this, nor do you need to block it. Mohair is super forgiving and looks great and isn’t slippery so if you use a thinner or thicker needle size or yarn it is completely fine. No sewing required!! It is not itchy because it barely touches the skin. Feels as if you aren’t wearing anything which makes it thermo regulating. Also would recommend to wear this with no bra.
