Mohair weekend cardigan
Introducing the Mohair Weekend Cardigan, a stylish and versatile addition to your knitting collection. This hip-length cardigan features charming 3/4 balloon sleeves adorned with ribbed cuffs, creating a delightful silhouette that's both fashionable and comfortable. With its elegant V neck collar and the innovative top-down knitting construction, the Mohair Weekend Cardigan is designed for effortless wear. The V neck and front band are knitted in one piece with the cardigan, significantly reducing finishing time and making this project beginner-friendly.

Crafted with lightweight yarns, the Mohair Weekend Cardigan is perfect for layering and transitions seamlessly between seasons, making it a staple piece in your wardrobe all year round.
Yarns (both held together): To create this stunning cardigan, you'll need two specific yarns: 1. Ruke knit, Wool (100% Wool; 100g (3.5oz) = 350m (383yds)), in colour no.: 480. 2. Gepard, Kid-Seta (70% Super Kid Mohair, 30% Shappe Silk; 25g (0.9oz) = 210m (230yds)), in colour no.: 832. This unique blend of materials combines the warmth and durability of wool with the luxurious softness of mohair and silk, ensuring your cardigan feels as good as it looks.
Yarn weight (Worsted/Afghan/Aran): For the Ruke knit, Wool, you'll need between 300 to 500 grams based on your size — that’s 3 to 5 balls, translating to 1050 to 1750 meters. For the Gepard, Kid-Seta, gather either 5 to 9 balls to finish your project beautifully.
Gauge: When knitting this cardigan, achieve the perfect gauge of 10cm x 10cm (4in x 4in) = 18 stitches x 28 rows in Stockinette stitch pattern after washing to ensure a well-fitting garment that drapes elegantly.
