This light mohair granny stripes gilet is a pleasure to wear because it is warm and very light weight. You can easily adjust the length of this gilet. The entire pattern is supported with a line drawing which shows the number of stitches and rows. Refer to the line drawing at all steps. The larger the size, the bigger the stitch because every size is made with a different hook!
