The Rags to Drop Stitches Sweater is a seamless, raglan, semi-sheer layering piece that can be worn over a bralette, tank-top, t-shirt, dress, turtleneck… the possibilities are endless!

Constructed from the top down in 100% mohair, she’s a fluffy dream. The raglan shoulders are knit in the round before the sleeves and body are divided and worked separately. The collar is picked up at the neckline, and instructions for both super chunky and light chunky/bulky collar yarn are included (time to reach into your scrap pile!)

This pattern is written for intermediate knitters and was designed using a single strand of Take Care Mohair from Wool and the Gang and two strands of light-weight (450m/50g) mohair on 6mm needles. Be careful in making substitutions for the Take Care Mohair - make sure to use a worsted-weight mohair or suri substitute!
