About the design and construction
Tamarama is a long, cozy cardigan with an elegant drape and a beautiful textured pattern that adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit – whether you're on the go or enjoying a quiet moment at home. The delicate shoulder details and deep V-neck give the cardigan a feminine and modern look, while the simple silhouette makes it easy to style. The cardigan 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 hem. Next, stitches are picked up along the armholes, and the sleeves are knitted in the round and finished with a twisted rib cuff. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges, which are also knitted in twisted rib.
