    About

    I wanted/needed a cool weather cardigan, and this is it. In fact, in these fibers, it's so warm it really could act like a light coat.

    Yarns

    • material-yarn
      Lion Brand LB Collection Silk Mohair - wisp ✕ 1548.0 yards

    Needles & Hooks

    • Crochet Hook 5.00mm (US 8)

    Measurements

    Notes: Custom size 3. My mods to the original design: I added 1” (2.5 cm) to each arm section of the shrug because I wanted the sleeves to extend beyond my cuff; added a button + 5 sc button loop once completed. I can still wear it casually open and the button and loop sort of blend into the color of the cardi, yet I can close it with something a little more permanent than a mere pin if I so choose.
