Mohair Crush
Voksen
🇩🇰 🇬🇧

‘Mohair Crush’ is a light and airy vest, worked top-down in stockinette stitch with six strands of mohair held together - creating a soft, luxurious fabric. The vest has a slightly oversized fit, making it both comfortable and stylish. It is beginner-friendly and quick to knit on US 15 (10 mm) needles.
The vest can be knitted in a marled effect by combining three different colors (two strands of each), which gives a lively, unique look. It can also be knitted in a single solid color for a more classic style, or in scraps of mohair to create your own playful version. The design is versatile and fun – wear it as a top on bare skin, or layer it over a shirt or blouse as a vest. The pattern contains 3 different sizes - Guiding measurements are listed below.
