Tulip Farm Sweater

**The Tulip Farm Sweater is the featured knitting pattern for La Mercerie during the 2025 Puget Sound LYS Tour.** This garment is meant to be worn oversized with wide sleeves. When choosing a size, first measure your bust then add the intended 8-12” of positive ease. For example, the model in the picture is a 40” bust and is therefore wearing a size L which measures 50.5” in body circumference. **Gauge:** 20 sts X 28 rows = 4”/10cm in stockinette, 20 sts X 25 rounds = 4”/10cm in colorwork. Gauge is measured after blocking. **Needles and Notions:** Circular size US 5 (3.75mm) needle or size needed to achieve gauge, circular size US 4 (3.50mm) or one needle size smaller, stitch marker to mark BOR, tapestry needle, scrap yarn/cord. **Yarn:** Heavy Merino - Knitting for Olive (136 yards [125m]/50g) or any worsted weight yarn.
