We've kept the drape and wearability of our original Vanilla Sweater while adding in the coziness of mohair! The combination of Rauma Finullgarn and Rauma Plum creates a beautiful and soft fabric for this raglan sweater that looks great on every body type! Knit top-down and in the round, this pattern, along with our Vanilla Sweater, is a great choice for both new and experienced knitters.

The Vanilla Sweater Kit is one of our most popular products and we are delighted to bring you Vanilla Fluff which is a fluffy spin on this tried and true sweater style. This new pattern has been reworked to account for the addition of mohair and a new gauge. This sweater, like the Vanilla Sweater, has drape and movement in the knit fabric making it cozy and easy to wear. It also has slightly narrower full length sleeves.
You can find the Knit the Vanilla Sweater Course here, a collection of video tutorials which will guide you through each step of your Vanilla Sweater or Vanilla Fluff journey.

Completed Vanilla and Vanilla Fluff Sweaters
I made 2 Vanilla sweaters (rose and rust).
I just finished my Fluff (holiday green).
The patterns were fairly easy to follow and it is a great basic sweater.
Working with the mohair yarn was a bit of a challenge at first.
You can modify the pattern to your liking. I made the sleeves a bit longer on the third sweater.
My next Vanilla sweater I will add 1 more skein of yarn so I can make the body and sleeves a little longer.
The Fluff is warm and cozy and very rich looking.
My next color choice will be purple.
The pattern and the yarn colors are great.
