Tulpan

Pre-order the book at Laine stockists worldwide. *Tulpan is the Ukrainian word for “tulip”, and that is what inspired this garment. Nature has always brought much inspiration to my designs, with flowers often serving as the focal point. I hope that you take the time to delight in choosing your colors for this project as much as you enjoy making and wearing your colorful new top.* Tulpan is worked from the top down in the round, seamlessly. It has a round yoke construction which flows effortlessly on your needles. After the collar and yoke is completed, the knitting is separated to create armholes when stitches are placed on hold on each side of work. The body is then worked in the round and a bit of colorwork is added before the hem. Armhole stitches are then placed back onto the needles from where the short sleeves emerge to finish the project.
