I wanted to knit something fast, simple and that I can wear a lot in the winter, so I made this sweater. I used a lace mohair with a 6mm / US 10 needle in a stockinette stitch, and I acomplished all I wanted.

Simple is a top-down raglan sweater with two different weight yarn, fingering and lace. While the cuff, hem and neckline works in fingering weight yarn, the body and sleeves works in lace weight yarn. You can personalize it, using different colors, like in a fade, or color block or even stripes.
