Dyyni sweater is a soft, fluffy and light v-neck sweater with a long or regular hem and slightly balloon shaped sleeves. You can knit Dyyni as a long or regular length version. Dyyni is knitted from top to bottom in one piece, starting with a neck band, from which the neckline and the upper part of the sweater are shaped with raglan increases. The sleeves are knitted directly to the body in the round. The edging of the neckline is connected at the front and the elastic knit it forms is continued all the way down to the hem. Dyyni is knitted holding two strings of mohair together.
