May Day is a celebration of colors and joy – so it's the perfect time to knit some color into your life!
Thin silk mohair knits are the perfect choice for the changing weather of spring and early summer. They bring warmth to cool evenings, but are also airy and luxurious. My favorite style is to combine a luxurious silk mohair knit with a summery floral dress. The knit can be beautifully worn on your shoulders in the sun during the day and can be worn over when the evening cools down. In this post, I will introduce you to a few light but warm knitting patterns that are perfect for this time of year – and especially for May Day! 🎈
Facile Sweater – light and quick V-neck sweater
During April, Armi received some lovely new Finnish knitting patterns from Sandnes Garn, one of which immediately became my favorite! The beautiful and simple V-neck Facile Sweater is quick to make, and its casual yet elegant look makes it the perfect spring sweater.
I knitted my own Facile Sweater with triple-ply Sandnes Garn With Tynn Silk Mohair yarn, and the end result was just as lovely as I hoped. The sweater is now available in the store as a sample piece, but we'll see how long I can resist wearing it for myself. 😆
Cumulus Blouse – a classic and timeless choice
The classically beautiful Cumulus Blouse is probably already familiar to many of you, but you just can't get enough of this one! PetiteKnit's Cumulus Blouse is a loose V-neck sweater knitted with double yarn from thin silk mohair.
My Cumulus Blouse is knitted by Isager Made with Silk Mohair yarn in shade 44, and this is also now available as a sample in Armi's store.
Other yarns suitable for the pattern include Sandnes Garn's Tynn Silk Mohair and Knitting for Olive's Soft Silk Mohair !
Novice Cardigan – a beginner-friendly and versatile cardigan
If you are just starting out in knitting or are looking for an easy yet beautiful knitting project, the Novice Cardigan is a great choice! This luxurious cardigan is knitted from mohair yarn It's easy to combine with any outfit and it's quick to make.
Mohair knit gives the jacket lightness and softness, but at the same time it is warm enough for cool spring days. For this pattern, for example, Sandnes Garn's Tynn Silk Mohair and Isager's Silk Mohair yarns!
I hope these tips have pleased you and I warmly welcome you to the store to get inspired and try on sample pieces! I will also be happy to help you choose suitable yarns.
Have a wonderful and colorful May Day! 💛🎈
