Varpu by Jonna Helin KOKON Chunky Mohair Yarn Kit
I love the Varpu pattern by Jonna Helin but I wanted to knit myself a v-neck version. I also knew I wanted to knit it in the gorgeous KOKON Chunky Mohair......a yarn I just love. I am so happy with the result. I love my v- neck version so much that I have added this yarn kit to the website so you can knit your own version of this pattern. You can choose to knit Jonna's version with a round neck or the v-neck version I have knitted.
Varpu is worked top down, mostly as one piece. It is a very quick and effortless knit – easy enough for beginners and a nice snack for more experienced knitters.
