This light pullover was inspired by my original design, the Elton Cardigan.
It features the simplest stripes, but I used two very different yarns: a fingering weight (which shows as solid bands) and a lace weight mohair (see through) creating a delicate game of texture.
The resulting sweater is light as air.
