Mohair is the favorite yarn of many fashionistas and a truly unconquered top of most admirers of knitting, because working with this yarn is quite complicated and requires increased attention. Pullovers, cardigans, blouses, hats, wraps, jackets or snoods - all this will look original if you choose mohair for knitting.
This yarn attracts beginner needlewomen with its beauty and characteristic visual and tactile qualities - lightness, softness, weightlessness, and professional knitters love this Angora goat wool for the ability to perform interesting work and complex patterns.
Mohair is not only universal in a rich color palette, because this yarn absorbs wonderful colors, but also in comfort socks both in the cold season and in the warm: in winter it warms and does not freeze, and in the summer it absorbs moisture and protects it from overheating. And the most pleasant quality of yarn, which is why many people choose to knit, is hypoallergenic - It does not irritate even the most sensitive skin. It is important to know that often mohair includes no more than 83% of Angora goat hair, the rest of the composition is supplemented with sheep wool, silk, acrylic.
This soft material is divided into three subspecies:
- Kid Mohair - the most delicate thin mohair, which is preferred when knitting openwork products;
- Gatling (Goatling) - a denser yarn obtained from kids up to two years old, which is selected for dense patterns on a variety of models of knitted things;
- Edalt Mohair (Adult Mohair) - dense thick threads that are good in working with simple large viscous.
The final result depends on the choice of yarn, because if you choose a dense mohair for delicate patterns, the product will look inorganic, and most likely you will not want to wear it.
Knitted patterns of mohair with knitting needles - diagrams and description
Professionals say that almost any clothing model can be knitted from mohair, you just need to find the right patterns and a description of the progress of work. Knitting with mohair can be greatly facilitated, if you use the golden rule: for thin yarn use thin knitting needles, for thick yarn - large. The tension of mohair threads must be constant, otherwise as a result the thing will be uneven, loose and stretched.
A fundamentally important point in this work is a correctly selected scheme and description of knitting from mohair with knitting needles. Let's try to consider several options for schemes of varying degrees of complexity for different models of clothing.
Hat for woman
Perhaps this is not the most original model of a mohair cap with knitting needles, but it is already a proven classic that suits both women and children, and even young people, because this model of a hat is now popular among men. Knitting mohair with knitting needles for women is not difficult, you just need to carefully study the pattern and description of work.
We knit a hat with jacquard stripes for a head circumference of 54–57 (57–60) cm
Width and length of the mohair cap: 22 (24) cm.
For this model you will need 2 types of yarn: 1) 1 skein of gray (primary color), 1 skein of white (finishing color 1) 100% wool; 100 g / 575 m; 2) 1 skein of green (finishing color 2) 66% mohair, 4% wool, 30% polyamide; 50 g / 500 m; and also circular knitting needles No. 4 and No. 5.5 40 cm long.
Work process:
We knit an elastic band alternately 1 person., 1 out.
Facial surface: in circular rows, knit only the front loops.
Jacquard Pattern: knit according to the scheme of the front surface. The distribution of colors is indicated in the description.
Knitting density: 20 p. X 19 p. = 10 x 10 cm, connected by a jacquard pattern on the needles No. 5.5.
Knit a pattern in 2 threads = finishing thread 1 + finishing thread 2, taken together.
Scheme and description:
On knitting needles No. 4, dial with the thread of the main color 72 (80) p. And knit in a circle 18 p. rubber band.
Go to the needles number 5.5 and perform 3 p. facial smoothness, while in the 1st r. add evenly 0 (4) p. = 72 (84) p.
Next, knit according to scheme 1, then perform 3 p. with the main color thread and work continue according to scheme 2. Finish 3 p. thread of the main color.
Decrease:
continue to knit with the thread of the main color, while closing every 6th p. (knitting 2 p. together the front) = 60 (70) p.
After 5 p., Knitted with the thread of the main color, knit 1 p., Alternating 1 p. With the thread of the main color and 1 p. With the thread of the finishing color.
Next, knit to the end with a finishing thread: in the 4th p. after decreases, close every 5th p. = 48 (56) p., knit 3 p. personal, closing every 4th p. = 36 (42) p., knit 3 p. personal, closing every 3rd p. = 24 (28) p., knit 3 p. facial, closing every 2nd p. = 12 (14) p.
Pull the thread through the remaining loops. Fasten the ends of the threads.
Make a pompom from the finishing thread and sew to the cap.
Knitting sweaters
A mohair sweater with knitting needles can be of many different variations, from modest and classic to bold and shocking. No wonder designers and couturiers from all over the world love to use mohair yarn when embodying the most daring sketches!

How to knit a heart pattern:
16 p. X 22 p. = 10 x 10 cm, knitted with the front surface with knitting needles No. 5 in 2 threads (= one thread of yarn 1 and 2 of yarn).
Completing of the work:
Back:
On knitting needles No. 5 in 2 threads dial 85 (91) 97 (103) p. And knit with curly elastic:
1st row (= out. Row): persons. chrome (in all rows), * 1 out., 1 persons. *, repeat from * to *, finish 1 out., 1 persons. chrome. 2nd row: front loops. Repeat these 2 p., Total 21 rows. Then go to the knitting needles No. 6 and continue to work with the front surface (1st row = faces. Row).
Important:
Go to the thread from a new skein at the beginning or end of the row. Tie a knot and fix the end of the thread at the edge.
When the length of the part is 42 cm (applies to all sizes), close on both sides for the armholes of 4 p.
Then reduce on both sides by 2 p. In each 6th r. (= faces. rows): chrome., 3 stitches together with knit stitch, knit stitches up to the last 4 stitches on a knitting needle, remove 2 stitches one at a time, as with knitting, knit stitches with stitches 1 and knit stitches through the knitted stitch , chrome.
After performing a decrease of only 6 (7) 8 (9) times, knit 4 p. straight.
Then close 1 point on both sides and transfer the remaining 51 (53) 55 (57) points to the auxiliary spoke.
Before:

Openwork sweatshirt
How to please yourself before the onset of the cold season? You can associate an interesting striped blouse with an openwork pattern! A soft and gentle jacket will not only undead and decorate a girl or woman, but also warm it. Isn't it cute? Important: for this special model, crochet skills are also required.
A sweater with mohair knitting with an openwork pattern is suitable for sizes: S (M) L (XL) XXL.
To work, you will need:
Yarn 1 (100% wool; 50 g / 225 m) - 3 (3) 4 (5) 6 skeins of lavender color;
yarn 2 (70% mohair, 30% polyamide; 25 g / 225 m) - 2 (3) 3 (3) 4 skeins of light purple; knitting needles number 3,5 and 4; circular knitting needles No. 2.5 and 3 40 cm long; circular knitting needles No. 3,5 and 4 with a length of 40, 60 and 80 cm; hook number 2.5.
Front rows - front loops, wrong rows - wrong loops.
Important:
The product is knitted from top to bottom from the neck to the armholes on circular knitting needles in a circle, then from the armholes knit in a circle in front and back. The sleeves are knitted from the armholes in rows in the forward and reverse directions on straight knitting needles.
We knit an openwork pattern according to the scheme and description:
1 decrease: 1 point, remove as the front one, knit the next loop with the front one and stretch the removed loop through the knitted one.
Strips: Knit on knitting needles No. 4 - 12 p. openwork pattern of yarn 2 in 1 thread, then on the needles number 3.5 - 12 p. openwork pattern of yarn 1 in 1 thread. These 24 rows are constantly repeated.
Knitting density: 22 p. X 30 p. = 10 x 10 cm, connected by an openwork pattern (according to the scheme) with the effect of stripes.
We carry out the work:
Start from the neck. On circular knitting needles No. 2.5 with yarn 2 in 2 threads, dial 142 (150) 150 (158) 158 p. And knit 2 p. wrong side. Next, knit only in 1 thread.
Go to circular knitting needles No. 3. Mark the beginning of the ragged increases: from right to left count 45 (47) 47 (49) 49 p. (= Back), mark the next 2 p., Count 23 (25) 25 (27) 27 p. (= Right sleeve), mark the following 2 p., Count 44 (46) 46 (48) 48 p. (= Before), mark the next 2 p., Count 23 (25) 25 (27) 27 p. (= Left sleeve), mark the first and last loops row.
Important:
The next circular row is performed on circular knitting needles No. 3, then go to circular knitting needles No. 4 and perform the first strip of yarn 2.
Next, knit alternately on knitting needles No. 3.5 (yarn 1) and on knitting needles No. 4 (yarn 2).
Continue to knit in a circle with an openwork pattern (distribute the pattern for each part separately). 1st p. openwork pattern to start and finish (for the back, front and sleeves) according to the arrows in the diagram.
At the same time, perform railed increases - 1 increase on both sides of the 2 marked loops = only 8 increases in a row.
Repeated increase in every 2 r. On the marked loops, knit with the front stitch. The added loops should be included in the pattern as soon as possible (before that, they should be knitted with the front stitch).Knit stripes at the same time, changing knitting needles and yarn (see above). Continue the stripes until the end of the product.
A total of 26 (28) 30 (32) 34 ragged increases on each side = 98 (104) 108 (114) 118 p. For the back and front and 77 (83) 87 (93) 97 p. For the sleeves. The number of loops includes 2 marked loops, which are taken into account when calculating the loops for each part.
Loop the sleeves temporarily and continue to work on the hinges of the back and front.
Back and front:
Knit in circular knitting needles in a circle. On both sides, dial 3 (4) 6 (6) 8 p. For armholes = on the needles 202 (216) 228 (240) 252 p. And continue to work in a circle.
Knit stripes on the loops that can enter the pattern with an openwork pattern - on both sides there can be loops that will not enter the pattern, knit on them with a smooth surface. Knit until 8 rapports of stripes are made from the neck of the whole (= 12 p. Of the openwork pattern with yarn 2, 12 p. Of the pattern with yarn 1 = only 24 p., Knitted 8 times). The last strip is knitted with yarn 1. Close the hinges.
Sleeves:
Number of loops = 77 (83) 87 (93) 97 p., Knit with needles No. 4 in rows in the forward and reverse directions. At the beginning and at the end of the row, dial 2 (2) 3 (3) 4 loops for the armhole = 81 (87) 93 (99) 105 loops.
Continue to work in rows in the forward and reverse directions. Knit stripes on the loops that can enter the pattern with an openwork pattern - on both sides there can be loops that will not enter the pattern, knit on them with a smooth surface. All ranks start and end faces. chrome. loop.
After 2 cm from the armhole, start to decrease at the beginning and at the end of the next person. row: persons. chrome., 2 p. knit together the front, knit to the last 3 p. on the knitting needle, 1 decrease, persons. chrome.
Repeat decreases in every 10th p. (8th p.) Alternately in each 6th p. and in every 8th p. (in each 6th p.) alternately in each 4th p. and in every 6th p. - total fulfill 13 (16) 18 (21) 23 times = 55 (55) 57 (57) 59 p.
Knit until a total of 8 repeat patterns of stripes (= 12 p. Openwork pattern with yarn 2, 12 p. Openwork pattern with yarn 1 = only 24 p., Knitted 8 times), as on the back and front, + 1 additional strip with yarn 2. Sleeve length from armhole = 44 cm. Close all loops.
Knit the second sleeve in the same way.
Assembly mohair sweaters:
Run the seams of the sleeves. Sew sleeves in the lower sections to the armholes. Tie the neck 1 p. conn. Art. yarn 2 in 1 thread. Wash, unfold, and leave to dry.
Mohair pullover - master class for beginners
A simple pullover knitted from mohair will always be welcome. In addition, this loose cut hides any flaws in the figure, and how it warms, despite the openwork!
The pullover can be connected to the following sizes: 38/42
This will require: Yarn (43% natural wool, 22% silk, 22% mohair, 13% yak wool; 150 m / 25 g) - 200 g of color rosewood; circular knitting needles No. 4.
Patterns and schemes
Openwork pattern: The number of loops is a multiple of 18 + 11 + 2 hem = knit acc. scheme. On it are given front rows. In the wrong rows, knit all the loops on the wrong side or according to instructions, crochets constantly knit purl.
Start with 1 edge and loops before rapport, repeat the rapport constantly, end loops after rapport and 1 edge. Repeat 1–16 rows constantly.
Patent Edge: In the front row, 2 loops to be knit with the front ones, in the wrong row 2 loops to be removed as wrong, while the thread should be stretched before work.
Rubber: An even number of loops = in the front and back rows between the edge rows, knit alternately 1 front, 1 wrong side.
Knitting density: 20 p. X 33.5 p. = 10 x 10 cm.
Important: Due to the large number of loops, we recommend knitting on circular knitting needles in rows in the forward and reverse direction. Knit a pullover in a single fabric without shoulder seams, starting from the back. Arrow on the pattern = direction of knitting.
Pattern
We carry out the work:
Put on the knitting needles 102 loops for the back and for the strap, tie 7 cm with an elastic band, while finishing with 1 front row and in this last front row, evenly distributing, add 19 p. = 121 p.
Then first knit 1 wrong side of the wrong side. This series is not taken into account in subsequent calculations.
Continue to work with an openwork pattern.
After 15 cm = 50 rows from the initial row, add 1 x 1 p. For lateral bevel on both sides, then in each 2nd row 30 x 1 p. pattern = 183 p.
After 55 cm = 184 rows from the initial row, the shoulder line is reached.
After that, leave the last 91 loops for the left shelf and on the first 92 loops of the row continue the work for the right shelf as follows: hem, 90 p. Openwork pattern, add 1 cross-linked from the transverse thread and also knit the last loop of the row with a patent edge on 2 loops = 93 p.
After 54.5 cm = 183 rows from the shoulder line, i.e. after the front row, leave the loop.
Then turn on the left 91 loop for the left shelf and knit in a mirror image, while in the 1st row along the right edge (= edge of the neck) add 2 p. = 93 p.
After 54.5 cm = 183 rows from the shoulder line also leave a loop.
Then knit 1 wrong side row with a single fabric on both shelves as follows: knit 67 loops of the left shelf, place the first 26 loops of the right shelf behind the last 26 loops of the left shelf and constantly knit 1 loop of the right shelf with 1 loop of the left shelf together with the wrong ones, then knit the remaining 67 loops of the right shelf = 160 p.
After 55 cm = 184 rows from the shoulder line, knit an elastic band for the plank, while in the 1st row, evenly distributing, reduce 58 p. = 102 p. With a 7 cm plank width, close all the loops according to the figure.
Assembly:
Make side seams, leaving the top 22 cm open for armholes.
