PATTERN INFORMATION
The Tulip Cardigan is knitted flat in one piece from top down. Begin with the back neck; after a few short rows to lift the back, make rapid increases at both ends of the back neck to form the shoulder seams, before continuing to make increases at different intervals to shape the armholes, rest sleeve caps, and front neckline all at once. Split the body and sleeves at the underarm, then work the body in simple stockinette stitches, ending with a row of tulip laces over a garter stitch panel.

Once the body is complete, start working on two sleeves in the round. The sleeve has a row of tulip laces flowing from the top of the sleeve cap right to the end of the sleeve. The cardigan is finished with a folded picot edge at the bottom of the lower body, sleeve cuffs and collar. Finally pick up the stitches along the front edges and knit in garter stitches to complete the two front bands.
