Le Knit - Pouf - Paper

It doesn't get any easier! The puff is knitted from the top down with two strands of mohair. You can choose two similar strands or two different ones - perhaps one hand-dyed and the other solid. I have knitted with two strands of hand-dyed yarn and then the surface of the sweater resembles a beautiful watercolor. I have deliberately made it simple to show that it certainly does not require years of experience to knit something so fine and delicate.
