FLared filatura mohair cardigan based on ''HARU''


This cardigan is based on the HARU pattern in Doris Chan's Everyday Crochet book for the yoke and top half and I have then improvised a bit by adding flares and a more lacy stitch below the bustline .
The sleeves also were adapted by pinching a pleat at the end of the yoke pattern to create a puffed sleeve and then adding a slimline straight sleeve in the same lacy stitch as the lower body-part.
It can be worn as a deep V babydoll or as a shallow V wrapped front top.
I used about 5- 6 skeins: it weighs just over 260 g and a 6mm hook throughout.
I made it in the second size from the book up to the bustline and then increased for the flared fronts and back.
The yarn is a very old one that I hope will be re- introduced as it's been much admired!
