Good to know

The sweater is knitted with four strands of yarn from the bottom to top in a round for the most part .The body and the sleeve are knitted separately and then joined at the armpits and knitted flat from back and forth for the yoke. The neckline is knitted in round after the yoke has been knitted.

Yarn quantity required is based on an average , and is therefore an approximate number. The sweater can be knitted in any substituted yarn that consists of the same weight as the given threads.

The perfect leftover yarn project !

Recommended technique for leftover project :
Change the threads accordingly : In every 3-5 row, remove 1 color and add in another color instead ; but always keep the base as 4 strands, the mohair can be rubbed together by adding ca 10 cm of the end of the yarn together with the beginning of a new yarn, rub them together and slowly they should start to stick together. With the angel lace ; just tie knots. Don’t be afraid to mix colors with high contrast ; you are the designer here and feel free to go out of your comfort zone.
