4 ply mohair yarn made from 2 strands of MOHAIR MELANGE by ggh and 2 strands of KID by ggh creates a voluminous and airy cuddle piece.  Working only stockinette stitch makes this piece very easy to knit, the cute picot edging is made with new cast on stitches.  This makes this stole a perfect beginners project. Even if you do not have any experience at all it still is the perfect beginner project!

The used MOHAIR MELANGE yarn is made from 80% mohair and 20% polyamide and makes for an incredibly soft and fine material. The stole is knitted with 4 threads. 2 threads MOHAIR MELANGE and 2 threads KID by ggh, an incredibly fluffy lace yarn made from 65% super-kid-mohair, 5% cotton and 30% polyamide offered in a wide color range. Those two super soft and feather light mohair mixes combined make for a wonderfully delicate knitting. Together the 4 threads of those fluffy yarns make a bigger string which can easily be handled by beginners. Using dpns size EU 8–9mm [US/CAN 11-13, AU 8-9] you will work this up pretty quickly in stockinette stitch. The two earthy colors we put together -uni color for KID yarn and MOHAIR MELANGE with a slight melange effect - create a wonderful play of colors.

Additional materials: Double pointed needles (dpns) size EU 8–9mm [US/CAN 11–13, AU 8–9].
