The Tulip Farm Sweater is the featured knitting pattern for La Mercerie during the 2025 Puget Sound LYS Tour.

This garment is meant to be worn oversized with wide sleeves. When choosing a size, first measure your bust then add the intended 8-12” of positive ease. For example, the model in the picture is a 40” bust and is therefore wearing a size L which measures 50.5” in body circumference.
