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.
