Must Make Monday: Halu

Must Make Monday: Halu

What’s better than knitting a sweater where your main yarn is held together with mohair? Knitting with a luxury mohair blend, of course! We’re simply salivating over the idea of knitting Caitlin Hunter’s new sweater Halu in Pascuali’s Merino Baby held together with the luxurious (and new!) Pascuali Manada. Manada’s Mohair-Yak-Silk-Wool blend is the perfect cozy accompaniment to make this project a stand out in anyone’s closet. 

Featuring a graphic ribbed v-neck and a delicate lace & bobble yoke, sweater is the perfect pattern for those looking to add some texture to their hand knit collection. The pattern offers an inclusive size range all the way up to a 68” bust measurement! While made with delicate fingering weight yarn, by holding the yarn double this sweater will knit up in no time at a larger DK gauge.
