Karalago

I made this for the mere challenge

    About

    I wanted to see if this pattern, which calls for wool and mohair for a very wintery sweater, could be turned into a summer number, by using a light, shiny viscose and linen blend. And it worked perfectly! The thick-and-thin nature of the Lago yarn was perfect to knit on bigger-than-calls for needles.

    Notes: size 32. WARNING; if you do decide to knit this pattern using a plant-based fibre like I did, beware. The sleeves tend to get longer, and the collar wider. I had to pick-up the bind-off stiches of the collar and knit a few more rows to tighten it, and rip a good 10 cm off the sleeves, before binding off again.
    Now, it fits perfectly with my busy Mom life: I can clean up a mess without having to rollup my sleeves!
