“ Doing a backflip, also called a back-tuck, somi, or salto, is a great way to show off your flexibility and agility, but it’s also an advanced skill. “

Backflip cardigan : a crochet pattern featuring a beautiful textured body stitch pattern, comfortable fit, roomy sleeves and a bit of a challenging shoulder/back construction.

The front sections are continued partway up the back, shaping a shoulderline that goes downwards and is seamed onto top of the back panel.

This cardigan is worked bottom up in separate pieces. Seams are closed, and both sleeves are worked onto cardigan in rounds.

Ribbed edgings and cuffs to finish this design.

Fully written instructions in 7 sizes in English (both UK and US terms) and in Dutch.
