Yarn set for knitting Xiao Mai, designed by Layla Yang, from the book Neons & Neutrals.
Xiao Mai is a loose-fitting cardigan. It's stylish and cozy, keeping you warm and comfortable on cold days. The chunky stitch, which is made by knitting eight colorful threads, is cute, and if you are a knitter, you will want to knit it.
The main part is made of 2 types of yarn, and the chunky stitch part is knitted with 8 hand-dyed lace weight yarns. For the chunky part, amirisu Flow Handdyed is available in 4 dreamy colors.
Knit top down. With thick ribbing as the base, pull-up chunky stitches are applied. First, knit the upper half and the two front pieces flat, connect them, pick up the stitches from the armhole and knit the sleeves in a loop. Finally add the hem and button band.
