Overview
This project was inspired by vintage-style cardigans. The design includes welted pockets and set in sleeves. Vintage button can be used to great effect as part of the overall design. Knit out of a mohair blend, including a detachable mohair and cashmere Siamese kitty collar. The kitten collar is my recollection and interpretation of an out-of-print design by Madison area designer Olga Pobeskaya. The cardigan pattern includes five sizes.

Suggested Yarn/Notions

The collar is knit with Rowan Angora Haze (white) and Jade Sapphire 2-ply cashmere (light gray, dark gray, and black). Jade Sapphire 2-ply cashmere can be substituted for the Angora Haze, if desired.
