How to Knit a Stylish Mohair and Silk Garment

You’ll Need:

125g of yarn (60% mohair, 40% silk; 300m/25g);

Knitting needles 4.

Size:

99.5 cm x 104 cm.

Used Patterns

Relief pattern: the quantity of stitches is multiplied 17 + 1 + 2 selvedge stitches. Start from the 7^th stitch before the right arrow on the scheme.

Repeat the pattern of 17 stitches between arrows, finishing with the 13^th stitch after the left arrow.

Make 1^st-4^th rows in height.

Stitches Control:

22.5 stitches x 23 rows = 10 x 10 cm.

Instructions

Cast on 122 stitches with knitting needles 4 and make 1 row (WS) with knit stitches. Continue work with relief pattern. In 179 rows (about 77 cm) from the beginning of work, cast on 102 stitches for the hood along the right edge. Make relief pattern on all the stitches. There are 122 stitches left.

In 179 rows (about 77 cm) from the end of the hood, bind off the rest of the stitches.

Assembly

Make a seam on the hood. Cut 55 threads of mohair yarn 74 cm long each. Join them to the corner of work as a tassel. Its length is 33 cm, i.e., fold the threads in half.
