Revision 10/26/07 : Fixed cuff rib directions. (should be K3, P2. used to say K3, P3) Hi everyone. I've finally finished photography and writing up for my first free pattern. The PDF version is on the sidebar, but I'm including the instructions in this post too. I'd love to get any feedback.

I don't see a way to contact you, so maybe you're getting follow-up comments. . .
The body is quite easy. It's a feather & fan variation with 12 repeats. If you've done much lace it should seem pretty familiar. You do have to purl, though.
Mohair is a bit more fiddly to work with because of the fuzziness, and it's harder to rip out than a smooth yarn (though it wasn't all that hard when I had to do it). This project uses pretty big needles (US 7 in the pattern, but I used US 5) so that's not too hard. The edging takes forever but is pretty easy to memorize.
