DETAILS
The Tulip Tunic is a cozy, oversized boxy garment designed to envelop you in warmth and style. This drop sleeve style sweater is knit seamlessly from the bottom up with engaging colorwork on the body, integrated turtle neck and shoulder shaping for the perfect fit. The colorwork is worked in stranded knitting and has instructions for where to pick up stitches and where and how to work Ladderback Jaquard (link to video tutorial included). These instructions and techniques for the colorwork will keep the lines of your tulip motifs crisp and graphic for a fun Spring inspired look.
