MOHAIR MOBILE SHAWL PATTERN

The Mohair Mobile Shawl was inspired by the architectural sculptures of Alexander Calder. Choose 200g of fingering weight yarn for the main colour. The main colour acts as the frame or anchor of the palette. Add five contrasting colours of lace weight mohair silk, 25g each colour, like West Wool Glowhair. The mohair colourpops float throughout the fabric with ethereal stripes and fluffy marled sections. Sometimes mohair is used on its own and other times one strand of mohair is held together with the fingering weight main colour.

The modular shawl begins in the centre with a fun I-cord and short row detail. Stitches are picked up for tiny bobble stripes and mohair marled ridges. Then, the shawl decreases toward the top centre with marled garter stitch and cables. A final border is knitted sideways with short rows, cables, and mohair mesh sections. Each section includes step-by-step video tutorials demonstrating all of the techniques to knit this wearable work of art.
