Premium Yarn Blend for a Soft, Lightweight Feel
The Carlie Sweater is knitted using 1 strand of Merino wool and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair, held together to create a soft, airy fabric with a gentle halo. This combination ensures warmth without bulk, making it perfect for layering across seasons.
Top-Down Construction for Seamless Finish
Designed for knitters who appreciate thoughtful details, the sweater is worked top-down, beginning with the yoke and neckline. The upper yoke is shaped back and forth before transitioning to knitting in the round. The body and sleeves are completed seamlessly, with ribbed hems and cuffs for a polished finish.
Customisable Colour Combinations
Whether you prefer subtle elegance or bold contrast, the Carlie Sweater invites creativity. Pair similar shades for a tone-on-tone look, or mix contrasting colours for a marled effect. The possibilities are endless, making each sweater truly unique.
