This long, casual sweater in a mohair-wool blend was inspired by simple shapes, but features a surprise elegant detail at the back.

The garment is worked from the hem up in pieces, then seamed at the sides. All edges are rolled to create a casual feel, paired with the unusual textured sections on the back of the garment.

Rowan’s Kid Classic yarn provides a fabric with a soft handle and a subtle halo from the mohair content.
