Last year I was given some balls of mohairy/angora type yarn from a friend, and I decided to stripe it with black acrylic to make an 80s-inspired oversized boxy sweater. I used the drop-shoulder pattern from Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns and this is the result:
There was so. much. sewing! This pattern is written in pieces, which I thought would be perfect for the stripes, but not so much. I'd been putting off the seaming for ages and realised while I was sewing it up why patterns are mostly written in the round nowadays! These are all the ends that I had to sew in:
I'm super happy with the sweater though! It's nice and comfy and cosy and warm. Perfect for the colder weather :D
I still have some of the fluffy yarn left over - maybe I should make another one? :)
