Details

Construction
The Tursa cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. The back is shaped first with short rows at the shoulders and worked in mosaic to the underarms. The fronts are then picked up and worked in mirror, and joined to the sleeves using a modified three-needle bind-off. The body is continued in one piece. Button bands, collar, and cuffs are picked up and worked in 2×2 rib, with the collar shaped using short rows.
