I’m not sure if I’m the only one who has spent the late eighties with mohair yarn and patterns for giant sweaters with dropped sleeves. It’s a shame that I haven’t kept the pattern magazines from there, it would have been nice to see if my memories are accurate… …I remember the endless parade of mohair sweaters…
This is not real eighties style – I maxed the dimensions of a simple sweater so that it can actually be used as a dress. The material is very lightweight – Kidsilk Haze knit with 8 mm needles – so it is quite easy to gather or tie the excess and mold the sweater to another shape. Dropped shoulders I kept, stretched the sleeves oversized and sewed the seams from the top. Couple crochet rows gather the neck opening and protect the hem and sleeve openings.

i made mohair sweaters in the 80′s and they were nothing like this – they were chunky – embarrassingly so – this is gorgeous – so lightweight and thoroughly modern.

That’s exactly the word Julie: Ethereal…
