A short cardi covered in a tulip structure. The sleeves are three quarters lenght. The round yoke makes it fit year after year, as summer cardis are cute when they are cropped. A truly beautiful piece that goes with anything.
Construction Knitted bottom up. The structure is easy and repetitive. You only decrease on 3 rows on the yoke. Check the measurements before knitting, because of the structure the cardigan jumps a bit in the sizes.
