This light Alpaca-mohair cardigan is a pleasure to wear because it is warm and very light. This cardigan is knitted top-down. For the sleeves you pick up stitches around the armhole. The entire pattern is supported with a line drawing which shows the number of stitches. Refer to the line drawing at all steps.
Person in the picture wears size M/L.
Also available as a DIY-knitting kit!
