Tulip cardigan
Tulip cardigan
The cardigan version of my Tulip jumper.
This version was knit using Plötulopi yarn held double with one strand of silk mohair.
The cardigan is knit top-down in the round. Then it’s cut open using the felted steek method (which only works with natural (non-superwash yarns).
Stitches are then picked up for the button band.
