Blue TULIP - Sweater
,TULIp" is a simple sweater with a slightly shaped waist and a beautiful Tulippattern which is easier to knit as it looks like! The sweater shown in the pictures was knitted out of a self created yarn which contains a mix of a cotton-merino-acrylic . To offer everyone the possibility to use the own preferred yarn I only give you the needed basic informations like gauge, needle size and yardage. Because of this the sweater can be calculated on to various yarns.
