20% Mohair - 60% Abruzzese wool
Fingering (uk 4 ply) weight with 50g – 225m
78% mohair
This medium size shawl by Susie Haumann is just little gem. A triangular shape, knitted from the centre bottom with increases in both sides, makes it so wearable under coats and jackets, but also wrapped a few times around the neck.
We knitted it in Lunaris and A Chic Blend, that together provide an exquisite lightness to the whole piece along with extra softness and a comfortable warmth.
The stitching is very easy to follow, working alternately with each yarn every other round.
A great add-on is that you may knit a few more or less rows and therefore have more or fewer stitches according to the yarn amount you have.
