【about design】 I have experimented with a new stitch pattern which looks like a macramé motif. I like the combination of this lovely rustic lamb wool yarn and my new macramé stitch pattern very much. You can choose 2 different circumference for voluminous neck ribbing, smaller (white) or wider neckline (beige). The wider neckline has 10 cm /4 inches bigger circumference than the smaller one and goes just across the collarbone. It creates more a feminine look. I have also knitted one more Macrame Motif Sweater with mohair yarn. The mohair sweater (dark beige) has soft and elegant texture with beautiful silk shimmer. It is top down sweater pattern. Please try the sweater on and adjust your favorite body and sleeve length. I hope you can enjoy knitting!　―Midori Hirose 【about pattern】 English text pattern/PDF only.

My sample sweater gauge before wet blocking with Le Gros Lambswool was 14 sts & 19 rows.

Mohair Sweater Yarn: 4(5, 5, 5) (5, 6, 6, 6)(7, 7, 7) ball of Biches & Bûches Le Gros Silk & Mohair (72% Mohair, 28% Silk; 150 meters/50g) = 600 (635, 665, 695)(750, 830, 865, 900)(955, 1005, 1050) meter / 656 (694, 727, 760) (820, 908, 946, 984)(1044, 1099, 1148) yards. If you have lace weight mohair yarn, you can knit with 3 starnds of yarn held together. (See video “knit with 3 strands from 1 ball”) Mohair sweater has same horizontal gauge (stitches) and different vertical gauge (rows). Therefore it has different yardage and vertical length (lower body and sleeve). Row numbers in the pattern are written for the lamb wool project. If you knit with mohair yarn, please try the sweater on and adjust vertical length. I have witten vertical length together with row/round numbers, so that you can knit this sweater with different vertical gauge (rows). I have used same needle size as lamb wool project. 【Note】 ・Please download the contents from the URL in the purchase confirmation e-mail sent by Stores. ・There are no refunds available on download purchases. ・The downloaded data requires a PDF-compatible reader to open the file. ・If you cannot find the purchased content or have problems downloading or viewing it, please contact us immediately!
