Retro Fuzz

Retro Fuzz is a simple pattern that is perfect for those times when you need some good mindless knitting! This fuzzy, mohair sweater features different widths of colored stripes in a vintage-inspired palette. Knit from the top down in the round, this pullover requires no seaming and makes a great beginner garment project. The combination of wide sleeves that cinch in at the cuff and a slightly cropped body make for a great layering piece! Knit up in Knitting for Olive’s Soft Silk Mohair yarn, held double throughout, the fabric is light, fluffy and fuzzy!
