【about design】 I wanted to knit a sweater with tulip motifs… in Guernsey style, slightly oversized and high-necked! And this has become Tulip Guernsey. The cables of the tulip pattern pull the stitches in between to each side and produce little holes like lace eyelets. They look like tulip stamens and I love the result! The shoulders, separately cast on using the cable cast-on method, are joined so that the characteristic neat edges are visible. When I tried on the second sample, I found it nice without neck ribbing and finished it in a boat neck sweater. You can also leave it sleeveless: it will be lovely as a vest. I hope you can enjoy knitting!　―Midori Hirose You can choose between two versions: one made with two strands of fingering weight yarn (or a single strand of DK yarn) or a combination of fingering to sport weight yarn and lace weight mohair held together. Additionally, you can select your preferred neckline: high neck or boat neck. 【about pattern】 English text pattern/PDF only.
