CONSTRUCTION
Joy of Tulips is worked seamlessly from the top down. First some short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck and then the yoke is worked top down, in the round, to sleeve separation. The body is worked in rounds down to the hem. Sleeves are worked top down to the cuffs last. No finishing required.
