Sage Sweater

Sage Sweater is a soft and fluffy sweater with a two-colour braid and large, voluminous sleeves. The sweater is worked top-down in Handdyed Fat Mohair. The body is worked in stockinette stitch with a “Latvian braid”, while the sleeves are worked in stripes in fisherman’s rib.

The sweater is worked from the top down, first the upper part of the front piece with the braid is worked, then the upper part of the back piece with the braid. Below the armholes, the work is joined and the body is worked in the round. Finally, a rib edge is worked. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, and the sleeves are worked in the round in fisherman’s rib (brioche worked into the stitch below). The sleeves are finished with an i-cord edge.
