Mohair Cardigan in Half Patent Stitch - Knitting Pattern

What is Being Made

This is a Mohair Cardigan (Mohairjacke in Halbpatent) designed by Woll-Inspiration, a beginner-friendly knitting pattern available in five sizes: 38, 40, 42, 44, and 46. The cardigan is a classic button-front jacket featuring an elegant half patent stitch texture throughout, creating a distinctive ribbed appearance. This garment is knitted entirely in a two-ply technique, meaning yarn is used doubled throughout the construction for added warmth and texture.

Techniques Used

The primary construction technique involves two-ply knitting, where the yarn is worked doubled to create a denser, more luxurious fabric. The pattern employs two main stitch patterns:

• Ribbed Stitch (Rippenmuster): Created by alternating knit and purl stitches (1 knit, 1 purl) in a consistent pattern, providing elastic edges and structural definition
• Half Patent Stitch (Halbpatent): A textured stitch variation featuring raised ribs on the surface, created by slipping stitches with yarn overs and knitting alternately, producing the characteristic "krause Rippen" (raised ribs) effect

These techniques work together to create visual interest and dimensional texture while maintaining the beginner-friendly difficulty level.

Stitches Used

The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches suitable for beginners:

• Knit stitch (rechts)
• Purl stitch (links)
• Yarn overs (Umschlag) for the half patent texture
• Slip stitch (abheben) for creating the raised rib effect

Materials and Specifications

The cardigan is constructed using Linie 98 Carlton yarn by Online in light gray (Hellgrau, color 14). This yarn composition is 75% Kidmohair and 25% Silk, providing a luxuriously soft, lightweight, and lustrous fabric. The yarn has a generous yardage of 225 meters per 25 grams.

Yarn requirements vary by size:

• Size 38: 250 grams
• Size 40: 275 grams
• Size 42: 300 grams
• Sizes 44 and 46: 350 grams each

The pattern requires knitting needles in sizes 4 and 4.5 millimeters and six buttons for the front closure. The gauge (Maschenprobe) is established at 17 stitches and 32 rows per 10 centimeters when worked in the pattern stitch. Knitters are advised to adjust needle size if their gauge differs from the specified measurement to ensure proper fit across all size options.
