Bennie Sweater PDF

Are you ready to put on your mohair suit? Keep it cropped, make it long. Create bell sleeves or have a cute tee. The Bennie Sweater by Kara Eng is versatile, fun, and a great way to bust through all that gorgeous mohair in your stash. Make it with a single thread of 100g/100m mohair or hold 3 strands of 50g/459 yds held together. If you want a thicker fabric, add more strands. Note that yardage estimates will change based on which technique you choose.
