Notes: Cloudbow is a ruffled, puff-sleeve pullover or dress, worked modularly starting with the front and back body panels. Two rectangles of equal size are made first, then stitches are picked up along the short edges of each panel for sleeves. Increases at the shoulders add volume, and decreases gather the cuff. Stitches are picked up evenly around the lower edge of the body for the peplum (Pullover version) or skirt (Dress version). Increases in the first round add volume, and the peplum or skirt is worked in the round to the hem. Note that the peplum increases are more voluminous than the skirt increases; if you’d prefer a slimmer peplum, work Inc row as given for the skirt instead, and vice versa for a more voluminous skirt. The dress can be finished with an optional ruffled hem. Folded edgings finish the sleeve cuffs and neckline.

Sizing Notes
Choose a larger size for an oversized fit or a smaller size for a more fitted garment. The seam for peplum or skirt is designed to fall at or just below bust; body panels may be worked longer if you prefer the seam to fall closer to natural waist. If adding length to body panels, be sure to pick up additional stitches along the edges of Panels as appropriate (approximately 3 stitches for every 4 rows added). This modification will result in a larger sleeve circumference. Due to the unstructured nature of mohair fabric, the finished garment will likely grow lengthwise with blocking and wear. It is recommended to work skirt to a pre-blocking length that is slightly shorter than desired and block to final size.

Yarn & Colour Notes
Pattern does not include instructions for stripe pattern. Pullover sample is worked using a single strand of silk mohair, alternating between yarn A and yarn B every 5cm / 2” to create even stripes. Dress sample is worked in a random stripe pattern created by alternating sections worked in a single strand of silk mohair with sections of a strand of silk mohair held tog with a strand of scrap yarn
