About this pattern

The Tulipmania cuff is a fast and fun knit to keep your hands warm and make a swatch for the sweater with the same name.

The inspiration for this design comes from the gardens full of tulips that we can see and enjoy in The Netherlands for a few months every year. I just can’t get enough of them.

It is shown in the smallest size and uses 2 colours, but less and more can be added to mute it down or to spicy it up. Play with colour and choose what makes you happier.
