CUSTOMIZING
Not all bodies look alike - thankfully! So, the intended fit of a garment might not fit everyone equally well. Unlucky Knits patterns always include a "Customization Guide" with tips on how to adapt the garment to fit you perfectly.

Recommended: Kid silk mohair
Mohair is generally available around the world, in loads of wonderful colours. I recommend using kid silk mohair for this project.

Alternative: Brushed alpaca
Brushed alpaca yarn has many of the same qualities as mohair, and will be great to use for this project.


Also: you can totally go crazy with mixing and matching colours and yarn for this project! The sweater is worked with 2 strands held together as one, so there's a perfect option to mix and match.

DIFFICULTY: 2/5
This pattern generally contains very few advanced techniques, it offers detailed explanations of the entire process, and is generally clear and easily legible to all.

The pattern does contain abbreviations to certain words (k = knit, p = purl etc.) with a guide explaining the meaning of every abbreviation.

You can always check out the Unlucky Knits guides, if you need help along the way.

Please keep in mind that what some find difficult, you might find easy - and vice versa. The stated difficulty is an estimation based on the techniques needed and feedback from testknitters.
