FADE Sweater ENG

FADE Sweater is the perfect sweater to use up all your scraps and single skeins. It’s knit with 3 strands of mohair (or other lace, preferably fluffy), and 2 strands of fingering weight.

You can use any amount of scraps from 2-3 g to whole skeins - that’s up to you and what your stash contains.
This pattern is intended to be a basis guide to a thicker sweater, where you can put your personal touch on it. Read the guide on how to do a fade, or just go with the flow.

The sweater is worked top down with raglan increases and short rows in the back of the neck.

The sweater intended to have a fit with a positive ease of 5-15 cm.
