Rauha Cardigan Pattern

Tukuwool Rauha Long Top Down Knitted Cardigan pattern in English

Rauha (“peace” in Finnish) is an easy and light weight cardigan worked with two strands of silk mohair top-down. The front edges are worked with slipped stitches to form a neat i-cord edging. The hem and cuffs are finished off with an i-cord bind-off. The length is adjustable. Easy construction, neat finishings and beautiful drape of the knitted fabric make this a versatile knit.
