Outback Wool & Mohair Sweater

See full sized image in Photo GalleryThe yarn inspired me to design this sweater. Plymouth Yarn Company carries a line of wool and mohair called Outback.  Both the Outback wool and Outback mohair come in complimentary multi colors. In this example (color #912 and 812) have a blend of cream, beige, blush and gray. I thought that using the two different yarns for different parts of the sweater would give an interesting texture. I think that the texture would pop even more if this sweater could be created in a solid color (maybe in mohair and alpaca...hmmmm)

The sweater has a folded-over, off-the-shoulder neckline with brown leather laced through the neckline. The bodice is made from the wool and ends with an empire waist. The mohair body is a long, full tunic and has brown leather laced through for a flattering, waist cinch.The sleeves are 7/8 length and full. There is special crochet trim on the sleeve cuff, collar and empire waist that is done in both yarns.

This pattern will be available in sizes small - xxl Please check back for availability.
