Brightfeather

Brightfeather is an enchanting knitting pattern that draws inspiration from the delicate softness and lightness of feathers. For this beautiful design, I opted for mohair silk yarn, as it closely mirrors the airy quality of actual feathers. This sweater is skillfully crafted using doubled mohair silk lace yarn at a sport weight gauge, resulting in a versatile garment characterized by an extremely lightweight, luxurious feel and a stunning halo effect. The pattern showcases a top-down, seamless construction that is worked in the round in one continuous piece, making it convenient and enjoyable to knit.

This lovely sweater pattern is designed to be suitable for knitters of all skill levels, from eager beginners to seasoned experts. Although I used a doubled strand of mohair to achieve the desired sport weight, this versatile design can also be made with a single strand of sport or fingering weight yarn. For a unique twist, you might consider holding a strand of fingering yarn together with a strand of mohair—check the pattern for all required yarn amounts!

GAUGE: To ensure your Brightfeather sweater fits perfectly, maintain the following gauge: Body: 22 stitches and 32 rounds = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch when knitted in the round and blocked. For the colorwork sections, aim for 22 stitches and 30 rounds = 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, still knitted in the round and blocked. This gauge will help you achieve the ideal fit and appearance for your finished garment.

Experience the joy of knitting with Brightfeather, and bring a touch of feather-like lightness to your wardrobe!
