Yarn Set: Cassis (Laine Magazine 13) - Ulysse + Daruma Silk Mohair-

This is a yarn set for Cassis by Midori Hirose, featured in Laine Magazine Vol. 13.

This cozy unisex vest features a geometric Guernsey motif around the yoke that makes us think of chocolate bars!

At amirisu we've put together yarn sets for this design using De Rerum Natura Ulysse and Daruma Silk Mohair. The natural texture of Ulysse and sheen of Silk Mohair shows off the Guernsey motif beautifully and makes for a warm vest that can be dressed up or down.

This design gives you lots of freedom to make this vest your own. It can be made oversized as shown in Laine Magazine Vol. 13 or at a size with much less ease like the version worn by Tokuko. Pick a size that gives you the look you want!

Another feature of this design is the option to choose from two versions. As the yarn requirements differ depending on you preferred vest style, we've created two options for the yarn set.

Sample 1 is the version with a crewneck and short rib at the hem.
Sample 2 is the turtleneck version with a long ribbed hem.
