Notes

I held two strands of the fingering-weight merino with one strand of silk mohair. I was worried the fabric might be heavy, but it’s surprisingly light to wear!

Modifications:

  • I wasn’t a huge fan of the way Chart B looked, so I substituted it for a mock cable chart (find in photos, Size S, but I’m sure you can just add more purl columns to fit other sizes).
  • I saw another knitter omit the diamond lace pattern on the sleeves, so I also did that by skipping Sections 3 and 4.
