Like rays of sunshine, the roosimine pattern on this cardigan spreads out in rays across the hem and cuffs. This is a twist on a classic roosimine motif found on the cuffs of gloves from Tõstamaa.

This cardigan is knit seamlessly. The body is knit from the hem up beginning in the round with a steek for the roosimine section at the bottom of the cardigan. The remainder of the body is knit flat once the roosimine on the body is finished. The front and back are joined together at the shoulder with a three needle bind-off.
