Alex's Love Note Sweater

Back to Project Search

The Love Note Sweater by Tin Can Knits is a beloved favorite by our Beans! You can always seem to find this pattern when we check out the Hot Right Now page on Ravelry! This sweet little sweater knits up quickly from the top down! The combination of any mohair lace and single-ply merino makes endless possibilities for color concoctions! Our Bean, Alex, decided to try this sweater on for size using the squishy strands of Hedgehog Fibres Skinny Singles in the color Pet Rock and KidSilk Lace in the color ghost.

Materials

Yarn

Hedgehog Fibres KidSilk Lace Yarn

Hedgehog Fibres Kidsilk Lace is the ultimate soft and fuzzy, lace-weight yarn! Made out of 70% Kid Mohair and 30% Silk, this 50-gram yarn is constructed by wrapping a silk core in soft mohair to create a halo look. Kidsilk Lace is offered in the same gorgeous colorways and its other sister bases and ranges from neutrals bases with bursts of color to deep tonal colors.

Hedgehog Fibres Skinny Singles Yarn

Hedgehog Fibres Skinny Singles are like the candy of the yarn world! Deliciously soft and available in an eye-catching array of shades, this single-ply, fingering-weight yarn is squishy and soft, with just the right amount of twist and drape! Crafted from 100% Merino wool, this non-scratchy yarn lends itself well to lace patterns, especially Stephen West designs for fingering weight projects!
