Beginner Mohair Sweater, knitting pattern
Add the perfect piece to your capsule wardrobe when you make the Beginner Mohair Sweater, a knit sweater pattern.
We all have those days when our casual outfit just needs a little something. The Beginner Mohair Sweater adds a touch of sophistication without making you look overdressed. This simple, beginner-friendly knit sweater is fun to knit up and combines the basic stockinette stitch and modern design.
When I first started getting into knitting, wearables like sweaters and cardigans really intimidated me. It’s not until I made my first sweater pattern that I realized how fun it could be to knit your own clothes!
The Beginner Mohair Sweater was intentionally designed with beginners in mind. It uses a lightweight yarn, held double, it works up quickly, and the stitches and construction are really straightforward as it is knit seamlessly from the top down.
The Beginner Mohair Sweater has a round yoke, which is shaped by knitting increases on four rounds evenly separated on the yoke.
The construction is pretty straightforward; you begin by knitting the neckband, then the yoke, then the body, and finally the sleeves. The sweater is knit in stockinette stitch, while the neckband, bottom edge (waist band), and cuffs are knit in garter stitch.
For the sweater, I used mohair yarn. There’s just something about mohair yarn that makes it instantly more sophisticated to me. Diablo yarn from Hobbii is a glorious blend of acrylic, mohair, polyamide fibers, making the Beginner Mohair Sweater a pleasure to knit as well as wear.
With such a classic sweater, you can’t go wrong when choosing colors. The full palette of Diablo comes in an amazing array of colors from bright ones to more neutral tones. I chose the color Old Rose for the Beginner Mohair Sweater sample and I’m so happy that I did. The pinkish tones give warmth to the skin, which is always welcome in the dead of winter.
The sweater comes in 6 sizes S (M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL).
