Notes

Ignore all the ribbing instructions. Knit shorter than instructed. When front and back pieces done, change to 5mm needles and mohair yarn. Pick up 2 sts per st and per row for the whole round, getting ready to knit ruffles. For collar, pick up sts holding TLS double. Rib 5”.

The main yarn is my handspun from Crafty Jak’s Boutique, 80 % merino + 20 % mulberry silk.
