Oquirrh

The Oquirrh Sweater is a cropped, mock-neck pullover sweater. Simple shaping and cables make this a fun and quick knit. Designed to be knit holding two strands of fingering weight yarn together, the yarn combinations are endless and picking them out will be half the fun! Choose at least one yarn with a mohair blend to get the pretty halo effect!
