Sunray Sweater Mohair Edition is a lighter and more airy version of the original Sunray Sweater. The sweater is knitted in two color brioche stitch, and with its simple construction, it is perfect for you, who haven’t worked with brioche or two color brioche before. The Sweater is worked from the top down with a folded neckband with both decreases and increases. The sleeves are big and loose and they are knitted with increases along the way, which gives an oversized and relaxed look.
