Haw Frost Shawl Cardigan
Haw frost is thick and fluffy and looks like snow has fallen ... this yarn reminded me of that especially with the metallic threads.
Materials
10 x 50g Mohair (88m per 50g) - any mohair that is roughly the same length per 50g should work similarly.
I used Charisma Luxury Fashion Mohair Gold Award in Winter White with metalic threads in blue, silver, gold and pink.
- 74% mohair
- 13% wool
- 9% nylon
- 4% metalic
7.00mm hook
Sizing
Finished size: one size UK 12 - 20 (US 10 - 18) and easily adjusted for larger sizes simply by adding more rows where indicated.
Dimensions:
Tension
Peak to peak of pattern - 16cm
2 rows = 4cm
Pattern
Put a small amount of yarn to one side to create chain for armholes.

CREATE 2nd ARMHOLE
Join spare yarn to the 2nd peak from the edge - roughly 13 in from edge. MAKE SURE THIS MATCHES THE POINT WHERE YOU ATTACHED THE YARN FOR THE FIRST ARMHOLE.
29 ch - spans one peak and one trough (1 1/2 pattern repeats).
Join yarn to 2nd trough from point where you joined the yard and cast off - roughly 10 in from the other edge.

Repeat rows 52 & 53 seven times - finishing with a solid row.
ADJUST AT THIS POINT - add more repeats of rows 53 & 53 if needed to match number of rows you used for the right front (remember there is one more row left to do).

Sew in ends.
AT THIS POINT YOU HAVE A SLEEVELESS SHAWL CARDIGAN - the shorter top edge is the collar; the front pieces cross-over and drape ... fasten with a brooch or pin.
OPTIONAL - join thread to top corner and finish top edge (long edge) with one or more rows of tr - repeat for the bottom edge.
