Lana Grossa Silkhair is a halo-weight mohair-silk blend known for its exceptional softness, subtle sheen, and delicate cloud-like texture. The silk content adds a beautiful drape and lustre, while the mohair provides warmth and the characteristic fluffy halo that gives the finished fabric a soft, blurred appearance. This type of yarn is particularly well suited to simple stitch patterns, as the halo naturally highlights the fabric's texture.

Needles

• Straight knitting needles in sizes 3.5 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm
• Circular knitting needles in sizes 3.5 mm and 6 mm, 40 cm in length (used for neckline finishing)

Techniques Used

Construction Method

• Flat knitting in separate pieces: back, front, and sleeves
• Pieces are seamed together upon completion
• Circular needles used for picking up and finishing the neckline

Shaping Techniques

• Armhole shaping — worked identically on both the back and front pieces
• Shoulder shaping (Schulterschrägen) — angled bind-offs to create a neat, fitted shoulder line
• Neckline shaping — centre stitches are bound off, followed by gradual decreases on each side: 2 x 3 stitches, 2 x 2 stitches, and 3 x 1 stitch, worked every other row
• Pocket integration — the pocket bag (Taschenbeutel) is inserted into the front piece by replacing previously bound-off stitches
