Indigo Sweater is knit top down with a light fingering weight silk mohair held doubled as base and an airy blow-yarn as contrast color. You start by knitting a big, wide and long ribbed collar, before you move on to the yoke who has short rows in the neck and a structured pattern in a contrasting color. Then you cast off for sleeves and knit the body. Lastly you pick up sts and increase for wide, puffed sleeves with a dramatic decrease by the wrist that is finished with an i-cord-bind-off.
