Description
Tamarama is a long and cozy cardigan that with its characteristic pattern and delicate shoulder details both are able to dress up an outfit when you’re out and about and warm you when you’re at home.
The cardigan is worked top-down and is seamless.
First, the back piece is knitted back and forth, and the back is shaped with increases. Then, stitches are picked up along the shoulder seam, and the shoulders are knitted back and forth separately. In the shoulder sections, increases are made to shape the neckline. The work is joined under the arms, and the body is knitted back and forth, finishing with a twisted rib edge. Next, stitches are picked up along the armholes, and the sleeves are knitted in the round and finished with a twisted rib edge. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges, which are also knitted in twisted rib.
