Women's Textured Lacy Brushed-DK Polo-Collar Sweater/Jumper

This loose-fitting, textured garment is designed to be worked in a brushed DK-weight mohair-blend yarn, producing a soft haloed surface with strong stitch definition. The pattern structure relies on repeated yarn-forward and decrease combinations to create an open, decorative fabric that remains lightweight despite generous ease. A mohair-blend DK provides the necessary loft, elasticity, and visual softness while maintaining enough stability to support the pattern’s shaping, sleeves, and collar construction. Smooth non-brushed yarns are not recommended, as they will significantly alter the finished look and drape.
