This light mohair granny stripes cardigan is a pleasure to wear because it is warm and very light weight. You can easily adjust the length of this cardigan. The entire pattern is supported with a crochet diagram and written instructions.
Person in the picture wears size M/L
Yarn and colors:
You crochet this cardigan with 1 strand . For the bands we have used MYPZ Bold Luxury, MYPZ Champaign and Cotton.
Use of color: This cardigan requires you to tie many pieces of yarn together. Cut random lengths of each color (we have used lengths of ± 140cm) . The longer your piece of yarn, the wider that color will be in your cardigan. Tie all the lengths together into a large ball. You need to make tight knots! These knots can be visible in your work (we like that!)
Watch this video for how to make a tight knot:
