the look

Late 60s to early 70s handmade pastel rainbow knit pullover with an airy lace stitch and soft haloed mohair yarn. Mohair became especially popular in post-war knitwear as both commercial designers and home knitters sought fibers that felt luxurious but remained practical, and it was frequently used in open lace stitches like this to showcase texture and color variation.

Rainbow and softly blended pastel colorways gained prominence in the late 60s and early 70s as fashion increasingly reflected countercultural ideals, personal expression, and experimentation. Rather than precise factory striping, many handmade garments from this era relied on hand-dyed or self-striping yarns, resulting in organic color transitions like those seen here. This sweaters quirky sleeves (each sleeve has a different attachment method, please see in pictures) clearly indicate that this sweater was handknit with love.
