Watercolor Haze Pullover by Sarah E. Chapman

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

The Watercolor Haze Pullover celebrates Cabrito, our laceweight mohair yarn: five different colors of Cabrito come together in a playful striping pattern and make a gloriously colorful and fluffy sweater. Cabrito is held together with Maxima, our worsted weight single-ply 100% Merino yarn, throughout the sweater to create a deliciously warm fabric.

This sweater is worked in one piece from the top down with short rows to raise the back neck. After completing the circular yoke, the stitches are divided for working the lower body and sleeves separately in the round from the underarms down.

This project is worked with one strand each of Maxima and Cabrito held together throughout. The Maxima MC remains the same for the entire sweater, and Cabrito CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, and CC5 are used in stripes for the CC.
