You will need: fine yarn Lang Yarns “Mohair Luxe” (77% superkid mohair, 23% silk, 175 m/25 g) 50 (75) g in silver-pastel tones, color 0007; knitting needles 8 mm, hook No. 3.5; cubic beads 3.4 x 3.4 mm, 1 box each in white, blue, light gray; nylon fishing line for stringing approximately 4 m long with a diameter of 0.2 mm and a needle.
Density 8 p. x 11 p. = 10.5 x 10.5 cm.

Openwork pattern: the number of loops is a multiple of 2.
Knit the edges in faces. knit rows, purl rows.
1 person R. - facial.
2 p. R. - purl.
3 r. - knit 2 together, 1 yarn over.
4 rub. - purl.
Repeat from 1st to 4th row.

Knit from bottom to top, the arrow in the diagram shows the direction of knitting. Cast on 98 (106) sts and knit in an openwork pattern. After the 2nd r. For convenience, mark with two marks the places indicated in the diagram with asterisks. To do this, after the 44th (46th) stitch and the following 10th (14th) stitch, tie a thread of a contrasting color. At 3 p.m. knit the edge and all subsequent loops with knit stitches, at the end knit 2 stitches together, thereby reducing 1 stitch = 97 (105) stitches. In 4 p. decrease 4 x 1 p. as follows: at the beginning of the row, knit the 1st p. and yarn over together, then knit together purl. before the 1st and after the 2nd mark, yarn over and 1 loop, at the end knit the yarn over and the last loop together. Further along the edges and at the marks alternately in every 2nd and 4th row. decrease 15 x 1 p. - each time knitting 2 p. together. or 1 yarn over and 1 stitch together. After the last decreases of 48 rubles. on knitting needles 33 (41) sts. After 50 cm = 52 r. openwork pattern, loosely close all loops = top edge.

Assembly: moisten the scarf, stretch it and leave until dry.
Crochet the edges as follows: 1 dc in each loop of the top edge, 2 dc in the corners. in one loop, on the sides * picot = 3 ch, 1 dc. to the previous st.b.n., skip 1 rub. and knit in the next. R. 1 st.b.n., from * rep. Next tie picot and st.b.n. bottom edge, insert the hook into each stitch. Tie the 2nd side in the same way as the first.
Brushes with beads: string 2 chains of each color, 36 cm long. Secure the beginning of the fishing line after the 1st bead, secure the end of the fishing line under the last bead. Pull the remaining fishing line through 5 beads and cut it. Take 3 strung chains - one of each color, stretch them through the corners of the top edge, fold them in half and wrap them with fishing line about 1.5 cm from the fold.

Note Knitting-club. The description (both German and Russian) states “in every 2nd and 4th r. subtract 15 x 1 p.”, where the number 15 came from remains a mystery to me. On the other hand, the stitch difference is 65 stitches = 98 - 33.52 rows divided by 4 = 13.13 * 5 and gives the required 65 stitches. Thus, you need to decrease 5 sts every 4 rows according to the pattern of 1 st in every 2nd row and 4 sts in every 4th row, repeat 12 times.

Mohair yarn is one of the lightest, but at the same time warm knitting threads. It is made from goats. The name muyhyar itself means “selected fleece,” which already indicates that this material is of high quality. Special processing technology makes the yarn thin and delicate. knitting brings true pleasure to needlewomen, the result of which will be light, beautiful things. Readers can learn about the properties of this thread and the features of working with it in this article. Also here are descriptions of the making of mohair clothing and photographs of finished products. Focusing on them, craftswomen will be able to knit wonderful warm outfits for themselves and their loved ones.

Properties of mohair yarn

Thread made from Angora goat fur has a number of advantages:

• Hypoallergenic. The high-tech mohair production process produces yarn of excellent quality. Natural mohair does not cause any allergic reactions. Even if a thing made from this type of thread is put on a naked body, then no itching, no redness, or any other irritation of the skin will occur.
• Comfort. Things knitted from mohair yarn retain heat well. At the same time, it does not get hot in them, since the canvas easily allows air to pass through.
• Strength. Despite the fact that natural mohair thread is very thin, it is very difficult to break. And the fabric knitted from it retains its shape and structure well throughout the entire period of wear.
• Wear resistance. During washing and drying, it is important to follow all the rules for performing these procedures, then the product will not deform (do not stretch or fall off). Mohair lends itself well to painting with special means, with subsequent good performance properties, that is, the color does not wash off or fade when processing the product.
• Ease. Knitting from mohair allows you to get almost weightless items. A shawl, cardigan, sweater, beret or other wardrobe items made from this type of thread are practically not felt on the body, but at the same time they warm well and create a festive and gentle look.
• Safety. The mohair thread slowly gets wet. This feature can be very useful if you are caught in the rain. A sweater or jacket made of mohair can save the body from hypothermia for some period of time. Yarn of this type ignites slowly, which is also another advantage.

Classification of mohair yarn

The main types of mohair threads are divided into types depending on the age of the animal or whose wool is the source material. Kid Mohair yarn is the thinnest and most delicate. The thickness of the fibers is no more than 27 microns. This thread is made from the wool of kids that are sheared for the first time. It is used to make air shawls, stoles, scarves, and children's items. Knitting with kid mohair can be compared to weaving lace. The products look like thin cobwebs.

As a result of shearing animals, which are between 1 and 2 years old, wool is obtained from which Goatling yarn is made. It is a little thicker and stiffer, but this does not impair its qualities and properties. It is used to make sweaters, vests, cardigans, dresses and other types of clothing.

As a result of processing, the wool of an adult goat (from 2 years old) turns into Goatling mohair. This thread differs from the previous ones in a higher degree of rigidity and strength. At the same time, it retains all the properties of mohair. Its thickness is 30 microns. In addition to clothing items, yarn is used to make blankets.

Composition of mohair yarn

To ensure that the natural wool fibers of the thread keep their shape well, they are spun with the addition of cort, a material that holds the hairs together. Therefore, it would be incorrect to say that mohair is 100% wool thread. Today's technologies make it possible to produce yarn containing 83% Angora goat wool. If you see yarn with a larger number indicated, know that this is a fake and knitting from mohair (this kind of “mohair”) most likely will not bring you any pleasure. A combination of thread with other types of yarn is allowed. In this case, goat hair makes up from 10 to 80% of their total amount, which must also be indicated on the label.

If you decide to make a product from this type of thread with your own hands, then be sure to take note of the following recommendations.

Having decided on the model of the future product, you need to choose yarn and knitting needles. When purchasing thread, carefully study the information on the label attached to the skeins. If the composition of the thread suits you, pay attention to the recommended knitting needle size for the job. The quality of the future knitted fabric depends on them. mohair is obtained by using a tool whose thickness is 2-4 times the thickness of the yarn. A warmer and denser fabric is made with a small number of knitting needles.

Before you start knitting a mohair pattern, practice your chosen pattern. At first, it may be difficult for novice needlewomen to work with such a thin and soft thread, but after knitting several rows of a sample, your hands will “understand” with what tension to hold the yarn and how tightly to tighten the loops. After this, you can start making the product itself.

The next part of the article presents models of clothing items that can be knitted from mohair. Focusing on them, you can make such beautiful and warm things as a scarf, sweater and jacket with your own hands.

How to knit a scarf?

Knitting a scarf from mohair with knitting needles using knitting technology is no different from making it from another type of yarn. When calculating the loops, keep in mind that the thread is thin, so their number will be greater than if you knitted a product of the same size, but from a larger one. in two or even three folds with patterns of front and back loops: elastic bands of different types, pearl pattern, “checkerboard”. Then the canvas will be voluminous and very warm. Light women's scarves reminiscent of lace are knitted into one thread. They are used more as a decorative addition to the overall image. Mohair is used to make such accessories. The photo shows a diagram of one of these drawings. A scarf or handkerchief made by him will turn out weightless and very delicate.

Knitting a fluffy warm sweater

The model of this wardrobe item, the manufacturing process of which is described below, belongs to the “unisex” style. It will suit both men and women. Based on the calculations given in this master class, you will end up with a size 48 sweater.

To work, you will need knitting needles on fishing line No. 5 and 400 g of mohair/wool/polyamide yarn (100 m/50 g).

Knitting sweaters made from mohair or any other yarn starts from the bottom edge. To make this model, cast on 82 stitches. Start working on creating the front part. Work the rib stitch by alternating one knit stitch and one purl stitch. Knit this pattern until the width of the placket reaches 6 centimeters. Next, proceed to the front stitch. Knit the fabric in a straight line until the total length of the piece is 57 cm. Now make decreases to form the neckline. To do this, close the central 8 loops, and then knit each front separately, continuing to reduce the number of loops to round it off. In every second row, from each inner edge, close 2 loops 1 time and 1 loop 3 times. After this, close the loops that remain on the knitting needles. The total height of the fabric should be approximately 64 cm. Knit the back piece in the same way, but only for the neckline at a height of 64 cm, close the central 12 loops, and 3 loops on each edge once.

Next we knit sleeves from mohair. Cast on 32 loops on the knitting needles and make 1 x 1 strip 5 cm wide with an elastic band. In the last row, add 24 loops at equal distances from each other. Continue knitting the sleeve using regular stockinette stitch, making additions to form a bevel. To do this, on both sides of the part, add 1 loop 13 times in every 4th row, and then 1 loop 4 times in every 2nd row. When the sleeve length reaches 44 cm, finish the work. Tie the second part in the same way.

Knitting the mohair model is finished. Now start assembling the product. Connect the front and back pieces together at the shoulder seams. Next, pick up the loops along the neckline on the knitting needles and knit 6 cm with an elastic band, forming an edge. Sew the sleeves and sew them into the sweater. The last to be made are the seams along the side lines of the product. Hide the ends of the threads on the wrong side. The fluffy warm sweater is ready!

The description presented is a guide to making a classic sweater model. If you need a larger product, increase the number of loops initially. To make the pattern smaller, reduce the number of stitches in the cast-on row accordingly.

Experienced needlewomen can make a sweater not with stockinette stitch, but with any other desired pattern. Patterns made from strands or braids look good on mohair products. They also fall into the category of patterns suitable for women's and men's products.

Knitting mohair sweaters

The next master class tells you how to make a women's sweater with knitting needles for sizes 42-44. This model is knitted with double thread (yarn consumption - 100 g/200 m), which contains 70% mohair and 30% acrylic. It is recommended to use knitting needles No. 4, 7, 9, as well as circular knitting needles No. 9.

The product is made using two patterns - stockinette stitch and How do we knit them? Schemes for the implementation of these drawings, as well as symbols, are shown in the photo below. Let's look at the sequence of making the parts of the jacket and assembling them into a whole product.

To knit the back, you need to cast on 59 stitches on needles No. 7. Knit them in stockinette stitch, decreasing on the sides in every 10th row, 1 loop 3 times. As a result of this work, 53 loops will remain on the knitting needles. When the height of the piece reaches 28 cm, add 1 loop from each edge 3 times in every 8th row. And again there will be 59 loops left on the knitting needles. At a fabric height of 46 cm, start making armholes. To do this, cast off 3 loops on both sides of the product, and then in each 2nd row, 1 loop 3 times. As a result, 47 stitches remain on the knitting needles. To form the neckline, bind off the middle 17 loops at 18 centimeters from the beginning of the armholes. To round, make additional decreases along the inner edges of the neckline 2 times, 2 and 1 loop in every second row. When the height of the back piece reaches 66 cm, make bevels on the shoulders. To do this, on each shelf, close 5 loops 2 times in every 2nd row. Finish your knitting here. The total height of the product will be approximately 68 cm.

So, we are gradually mastering simple knitting of mohair sweaters. Next, we proceed to the design of the right shelf of the front part. On knitting needles No. 7, cast on 4 stitches and knit stockinette stitch, while adding on the right side (where the clasp will be) in every second row 3 times for 1 loop, 7 times for 2 and 4 times for 1 loop. At the same time, perform the fitting in the same way as you did on the back part. When the height of the shelf is 42 cm, make decreases to form the neck. To do this, decrease 1 loop in every 4th row after the edge row 9 times. At a piece height of 46 cm, cast off 3 loops to make the armhole, and then in every second row - 3 times 1 loop. When the total height of the piece reaches 66 cm, bevel the shoulder in the same way as the back piece and finish knitting. Make the left shelf symmetrically with the right one.

We continue knitting from mohair by decorating the sleeves. Now we take tool number 9 and cast on 39 loops. Knit the fabric, alternating the "English rib" (11 cm) and "knit stitch" patterns using knitting needles No. 4 (3 cm). When the piece reaches a height of 59 cm, stop changing patterns and tie the product only with an English elastic band. At the same time, make decreases along the edges to form a sleeve cap in every second row 1 time - 2 loops, 7 times - 1, and 1 time - 2 loops. Cast off the remaining 11 stitches on the needles. The total height of the part will be approximately 70 cm. Knit the second sleeve in exactly the same way as the first.

The next stage is assembling the parts of the sweater into a single product. Sew the sleeves and stitch them in the right places. Next, connect the parts of the back and shelves along the lines of the shoulders and sides. Now start knitting a wide border. To do this, pick up 252 loops on circular needles No. 9 along the entire edge of the sweater and knit a strip 18 cm wide with an English elastic band. Next, close the loops and cut the thread.

Options for other products according to the same description

You will get an elegant, warm, soft and very stylish jacket as a result of such a fascinating type of needlework as knitting. A mohair cardigan, a coat, a sleeveless vest - these are the things that you can do based on the master class above. Increase the height of the shelves and back parts to your desired size, and the product will be longer. These will already be blanks for an elegant cardigan or an original coat. It will be even easier with a sleeveless vest. Instead of sleeves, carefully tie the armholes with several rows of English elastic and close the loops.

Rules for caring for items knitted from mohair yarn

Knitting from thin mohair is a rather labor-intensive activity, but very exciting. To ensure that items made with your gold hands last a long time, it is important to properly care for them. Wash them by hand in warm water (30-35 degrees) with the addition of detergent for woolen items. You can use regular shampoo instead. Do not wash mohair in a machine, and especially do not use the “Spin” function. After soap treatment, rinse the product thoroughly in several waters and squeeze lightly with your hands. Next, lay it out on a horizontal surface, straightening out all the parts. Place a sheet folded several times or a fluffy towel under the product. They will absorb moisture. Dry the mohair item in a warm place. Avoid direct sunlight. Turn the clothes over to the other side from time to time. If the product is wrinkled, wrap it (while wet) on a rolling pin or towel folded into a roll and gently roll it on the table. Then carefully spread it out again and leave it to dry completely.

Conclusion

Knitting? The diagrams, descriptions, and recommendations given in this article will help all needlewomen master the technology of making products from fine mohair yarn. We wish you successful mastery of new knowledge and skills in this craft, beautiful and original works and easy loops!

A warm fluffy sweater should be in every woman's wardrobe. Cozy mohair sweaters pair perfectly with skirts, trousers and jeans. There are many models of women's pullover knitted with knitting needles. A variety of patterns are chosen for this, both embossed and openwork. Since mohair is a rather fluffy yarn, it is better not to mess with complex patterns.

Firstly, you can easily make a mistake during the knitting process - after all, due to the existing fluff, beginners may not be able to see the loops.

Secondly, the pattern may turn out to be so “tricky” that you will waste your time - in the end you will simply not see the openwork implementation.

A little about yarn

Mohair is considered the finest and warmest yarn, most suitable for women's sweaters and blouses. This yarn is made from the wool of Angora goats. Special equipment makes fine and high-quality yarn very convenient to work with. Things made from this material are very warm, soft and beautiful. Even an inexperienced needlewoman can knit a mohair sweater - the models are easy to work with and do not require special skills. To begin with, it is better to use simple patterns and more simplified models - without knitting sleeve caps, fitting and other additions.

Simple mohair sweater

To knit a women's sweater, you will need mohair yarn - you can use it with the addition of wool or polyamide. We recommend using size 5 knitting needles for mohair yarn. Knit a sweater in stockinette stitch, since the knitting needles are thick and the yarn is thin, you will get a sparse, almost openwork knitting.

To make a product of size 48 (taken as an example), you need to cast on 80 loops. If you plan to get a larger or smaller sweater, then the loops should be increased or decreased accordingly. Knitting starts from the bottom of the product. The work should be performed according to this description:

1. Cast on 80 stitches for the front and make an elastic band 6 cm wide with a 1x1 pattern, that is, alternate purl and knit stitches. Then continue working with stockinette stitch: alternate knit and purl rows. The back is knitted to a height of approximately 57 cm - this is the length from the bottom of the product to the neck - the sleeve will be lowered, so there will be no need to knit the armhole line.
2. Make a notch for the neck. To do this, bind off the central 8 stitches and continue knitting the left and right sides separately. To round, make a decrease in knitting from the neck side. To do this, from the front side through the row, decrease two loops at the same time (close them or knit them together). This is done three times, and the remaining loops are closed. The height of the front shelf should be about 64-65 cm.
3. The back of the product is knitted in the same way as the front. Only the rounding is done in a slightly modified way - first close the central 12 loops, and then three more times one loop on both sides of the neck.
4. Sleeves. Cast on 32 loops and make an elastic band of 5 cm. In the last row, increase the loops by adding them from the broach between the loops - increase by 24 pieces in total. Next, knit in stock stitch, not forgetting to add stitches on both sides of the sleeve to create a bevel. This is required 13 times in every fourth row. Then you need to add 4 times one loop through each row. The length of the sleeve is approximately 47 cm. Knit the second sleeve in the same way.
5. When all the parts are ready, they should be sewn together. You need to start by sewing the back and front together. Then sew the sleeves and sew them into the finished sweater.
6. Tie the neckline, either crocheted or knitted. Using circular needles, cast on the loops around the neckline and knit 4 rows with an elastic band, then bind them off.

The finished mohair product does not require steaming with an iron, otherwise you can damage the fibers and it will not “fluff” well. To level the products, they can be moistened in cold water and laid out on a dry towel. Let the pieces dry and sew them together.

Openwork sweater

Women's fluffy sweaters can also be openwork. Such work can be performed by craftswomen who have extensive experience in knitting without problems and long calculations. An openwork sweater made of thin mohair will be very light and delicate, but will not lose its ability to retain heat. To make a product of size 44, you will need 250 g of yarn and thin knitting needles No. 2.5. For work, only two patterns are used - for the elastic band and the main pattern. Elastic – it will be at the bottom of the sweater, on the sleeves and neckline. The pattern is made by alternating 2 knit stitches and one purl stitch.

The openwork pattern is the main pattern with which the entire product is knitted. It consists of a repeat of 7 loops. Knitted in the following sequence:

• Row 1: make a double broach - slip 2 loops and pull one of them through both, knit, yarn over, knit, yo, knit, simple broach - slip one loop and pull the next loop through it.
• Knit all odd rows with purl stitches.
• 3rd row: double broach, yarn over, knit 3, yo, simple broach.
• 5th row: knit, yarn over, simple broach, knit, double broach, yarn over, knit.
• Row 7: knit 2, yarn over, knit 2 stitches together, yarn over, knit 2.
• From the 9th row, start rapport all over again.

The technology for knitting a sweater is presented as follows:

1. Back. Cast on 140 stitches and knit 2 cm with an elastic band. Then knit in an openwork pattern up to the armholes. Make it by decreasing loops by 2 loops 2 times and removing one loop once. Then you should knit another 18 cm and bind off all the loops. If you don’t have experience or the pattern seems too complicated, you don’t have to do the characteristic knitting of the armholes.
2. Before. Knit the fabric in the same way, making armholes. There should be 130 loops left. To knit the neckline, close off the central 28 loops, and then make roundings on both sides of the neckline by decreasing 3 loops at a time across a row and 5 times 2 loops each. Knit the front to the length of the back and finish by casting off the loops.
3. Sleeves. Cast on 60 loops, make an elastic band and knit in an openwork pattern, adding loops every sixth row. Roll up the sleeves by decreasing stitches through a row 3 times with 2 loops and 15 times with one. Knit to a height of 15 cm and bind off the remaining loops.
4. Assembly. Pre-wet the parts and place them on a towel or blanket. Dry and sew. First you should sew the shoulders, then sew the sleeves and sew all the side seams. Cast on the loops around the neckline on circular needles and tie with an elastic band. The sweater does not require subsequent steaming with an iron.

Knitting allows a woman to realize her ideas and fantasies. All her works will be in a single copy, which means that she will be fashionable and original in her outfit. Mohair products look great here because they are warm, light and very comfortable.

Another advantage of mohair sweaters is their lightness. If you noticed, even the descriptions given indicate a fairly low weight of the yarn necessary to realize your fantasy - only 200-400 g. Moreover, despite their lightness, mohair pullovers are quite warm - they are not inferior to products made from real wool. Mohair is soft and, unlike wool, does not itch at all, so the products are perfect for people with sensitive skin.

Of all the possible yarns used for knitting, mohair yarn is perhaps the warmest. Moreover, it is also the lightest thread. The quality of mohair is very high. The material is thin and very delicate, and the items knitted from it are stunningly beautiful. In addition, mohair sweaters can protect you from the cold in winter and from the heat in summer. All this gives mohair a huge advantage over other types of yarn. That is why the heroine of this article will be a knitted sweater made of mohair.

General preparation tips

Mohair sweaters are a very useful item in the wardrobe. But before you start knitting, it's better to learn a few tips. After choosing a model, you will need to purchase yarn. Mohair can be naturally white, beige, gray or brown. But on the shelves of handicraft stores you can find all sorts of colors and shades obtained artificially. When purchasing yarn, pay attention to the information that is usually indicated on the packaging. The quality of a knitted sweater will entirely depend on how correctly you choose the tool. If you use knitting needles whose volume exceeds 2 or even 4 times the thickness of the yarn, the fabric will have an openwork appearance. But if your instruments are thin, then mohair sweaters will have greater density. Choose a motif and practice it to understand how the thread is laid, what tension to choose, and then get to work.

Mohair is a very delicate material, but at the same time warm. And if you knit a beautiful sweater from it, it will quickly become your favorite wardrobe item.

You can knit a mohair blouse according to the suggested description. Or you can also use a pattern or replace the pattern of the top shelf with any other one.

Patterns for mohair products

To make a mohair sweater, you can use simple but effective openwork motifs. For example, “Shamrock” or “Light Openwork”.

The simple shamrock pattern is very easy to remember. At the same time, you will get a very beautiful openwork, light and airy. Mohair threads will help a lot with this:

The front (front part) is knitted according to the pattern. The wrong side of the knitting is done according to how the pattern goes. The elements outlined in a rectangle at 5 and 11P are intercepted with thread. To do this, insert the knitting needle between 7 and 8 P, pull the thread through and knit it with the adjacent loop at the same time. We continue according to the diagram.

In the “light openwork” there are no complex transitions at all, so it is accessible even to inexperienced knitters:

Such patterns will make your mohair sweaters airy and graceful. And the process of knitting will bring a lot of pleasure.

Patterns and descriptions of knitting mohair sweaters

Mohair sweatshirts size 42-44

We will work with knitting needles No. 4,7,9 and ninth circular in two threads. Yarn - a mixture of mohair (70%) with acrylic (30%). The patterns we will use are “Knitted Satin” and “English Rib”:

Let's start knitting the back. We cast on loops (P) in the amount of 59 pieces (tool No. 7) and work with the “Front stitch” motif. As we go, we remove 1 P from the right and left every 9 rows (P). We perform this procedure three times. As a result, 53 P remain on the instrument. We continue until we get a length of 28 cm. And from this moment we begin in every eighth row on both edges 1 P. We also repeat 3 times. Now the number of elements is again equal to 59. We begin to create the armholes of the sweater when the height reaches 46 cm. To complete them, you should close 3 P on the right and left and three times 1 P through each 1P. There should be 47 elements left. Having knitted 18 cm from the beginning of the armhole, we proceed to forming the neckline. To do this, we close the central 17 P. To round the neck, on the sides on the side that is located inside, we remove 2 and 1 P twice through each P. Having reached a length of 66 cm, we bevel the shoulders. For this purpose, we close 5 P on each half twice through the row. At this point the back is ready. The length should be 68 cm.

The next stage is knitting the front of the sweater. Let's start with the right part. On the same knitting needles we cast on 4P. We knit in stockinette stitch, adding on the right, where there will be a fastener through 1 P, 1 P three times, 2 P - 7 times and 1 P - 4 times. Having reached a length of 42 cm, we create a neck. In every fourth row, after knitting the edge element, we remove 1 P. This must be done 9 times. Having knitted up to 46 cm, we create an armhole. First we close 3 P, and then after 1 P, 1 P three times. We make the shoulder bevel similarly to that on the back, when the height is 66 cm. We knit the left front symmetrically:

Let's start with the sleeves. Now we will use knitting needles number 9. Set - 39 P. We will alternate motifs on the sleeve fabric: 11 cm we knit with an elastic band, and 3 cm with a satin stitch (knitting tools of the fourth number). We alternate until we get 59 cm of the product, after which we knit it using only an elastic band. In order for the sleeve to become rolled, we remove it through a row of 1 x 2P, 7 x 1P, 1 x 2P. There are 11P left that just need to be closed. The length of such a sleeve will be 70 cm. The second part is made in a similar way.

All that remains is to collect everything that was imposed into one whole. First we sew the sleeves. We connect the back with the shelves, sewing along the lines of the shoulders and on the sides, and sew in the sleeves. Now you can knit a wide border along the entire edge of the sweater. We take circular ninth knitting needles, raise the elements, of which there should be 252 and, using the “English elastic” pattern, we make a strip 18 cm wide. Close the loops and cut the thread.

Knitting from mohair is the best way to update your wardrobe and spend your time productively. Mohair yarn is distinguished by its softness and a wide variety of shades. Models knitted from this material are pleasant to the touch and are distinguished by a gentle touch to the skin. Mohair items are almost weightless, but at the same time very warm. They protect well from the cold and at the same time emphasize the attractiveness of their owner.

Almost any clothing can be knitted from this yarn. A variety of patterns and execution styles allow you to create the most fashionable, original things. We bring to your attention several patterns that will allow you to realize the most incredible design ideas.

Delicate and soft goat wool yarn is very much appreciated among women. Thanks to its hypoallergenic qualities, mohair clothing can be worn by anyone. It does not irritate the skin, allowing you to feel comfortable at any temperature.

In cold weather, this material retains heat well; in hot weather, it does not allow the body to overheat. The beauty of the pattern on mohair products depends on the type of yarn.

Mohair yarn is ideal for knitting clothes for small children. It is soft, which the baby really likes, and any woman will appreciate its warm qualities.

Features of knitting

Handicrafts made from these threads have their own differences. This material is very malleable. This quality allows you to create almost any model for women. But, like every craft, mohair knitting has its tricks.

1. For thick threads it is better to use the same knitting needles, then the item will be more pleasant to the touch;
2. In the case of using thin yarn, the knitting needles should also be selected as thin as possible. Otherwise, the product will be too “loose” and will very quickly lose its appearance;
3. Regardless of what pattern you knit, the item will still be “transparent”;
4. Due to its structure, mohair tends to fall off. When knitting clothes, this should be taken into account, since unraveling them later is very problematic;
5. If you choose a dense pattern for the model, it will hold its shape much better;
6. When working with mohair, you need to monitor the tension of the threads. If it is weak, the knitting will turn out uneven, the finished item will stretch very much;
7. In order for the garments to be of high quality and the patterns to be beautiful, you should choose the thickness of the mohair correctly. When purchasing, pay attention to the characteristic creak of wool and the density of winding. Tightly wound fibers indicate that the material will not deform in the future;
8. Experienced needlewomen advise adding regular thread to the yarn.

The natural shades of mohair are white, beige, gray, and brown. But on sale you can find a wide variety of colors. Every woman can find something to suit her taste and create a fashionable wardrobe item from mohair. And so that things have an individual look and emphasize the unique style of the hostess, we suggest taking a look at the most interesting schemes.

2. The pattern is created using mohair throw-on loops in the outer rows and loops knitted at the same time to the left or right side;
3. In the fifth and eleventh lines, the selected elements should be intercepted with a thread. To do this, you need to thread the tool between the seventh and eighth loops, stretch the thread a little and knit the resulting loop at the same time as the neighboring one. Next, we continue according to the scheme. Between the yarn overs you should get the following formula: knit stitch together with an elongated loop, the same one, 3 together, 2 similar.
