Tussaaq Cardigan
The Tussaaq cardigan is worked back and forth, bottom up, using 1 strand of each yarn held together. Body and sleeves are worked separately until the armholes, then the sections are joined, and the yoke is worked back and forth, shaped by raglan decreases. Then the ribbed neck edge is worked, as well as the buttonhole- and button edges along the fronts.
