Tulip

Kerstin just finished Tulip (pattern purchased on Ravelry). The sweater is amazing! Kerstin used three skeins of tosh sock in the colour Coquette - Deux and made a size small.

“Tulip” is an A-line pullover in two styles, with different shaping on the body and sleeves.  

The body and sleeves of both versions are worked from the neck down with Mock cable pattern on the raglan lines. The sleeves are set aside at the underarm, and the body is knitted in one piece in an A-line silhouette, with Tulip pattern on the sides. Simple version’s body is knitted plain to the hem, while the Tulip pattern is also worked around the bottom for Feminine version.  

The sleeves are worked down in the round to 3/4 length, with decreases for fitted sleeves of Simple version, and with increases for bell-shaped sleeves of Feminine version.

Did I mention how gorgeous this is?? The detailing running up the sides is fabulous. Kerstin said that she was a bit worried before she started but it was an easy sweater to make.

Now it's time to sit and knit for an hour before bed. I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep. Tomorrow I will tell you about a yarn that is coming next week. I'm very excited about it.
