Brightfeather

Brightfeather is inspired by the soft lightness of feathers. I chose mohair silk yarn for this design because it was the closest fiber to feathers that I could think of. This sweater is knit in doubled mohair silk lace yarn at a sport weight gauge for a versatile garment with an extremely lightweight and soft fabric with a beautiful halo. This top down and seamless sweater is worked in the round in one piece. This pattern is suitable for beginners and the experienced alike. While I used doubled mohair to produce a sport weight yarn, this design also works well with a single strand of sport or fingering weight yarn or a strand of fingering held with a strand of mohair (see pattern for all yarn amounts needed.)

GAUGE: Body: 22 sts and 32 rnds = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette st, in the round and blocked. Colorwork: 22 sts and 30 rnds = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette st, in the round and blocked.
