“Puch” (Polish for the very soft fluff of very small feathers) is a slightly cropped top-down sweater with a loose fit, worked seamlessly with a circular yoke. For a special dual color effect, the garment is knit with two strands of yarn held together: mohair and an alpaca-linen blend. In the yoke part, both strands are worked up separately to create a two-layered fabric, a base layer in alpaca-linen blend in stockinette, and a decorative top layer in mohair worked in a lace pattern with large openings.
The pattern provides two sleeve versions to choose from: regular and balloon sleeves.
This sweater will look nice paired with an elegant sparkly skirt in any length.
