Tulip jumper (baby & kids)
Tulip jumper (baby & kids)
After completing my own version of the Tulip jumper, I knew that I needed my little one to have at least one as well.
The construction for both jumpers is the same, apart from the sleeves, which have no shaping for the baby/toddlers version.
Tulip is a very simple top-down raglan jumper with a delicate scalloped hemline.
Two strands of Nutiden are held together, and a thread of silk mohair has been added to create a rustic yet soft and luxurious fabric. Rounds and rounds of stockinette goodness are ahead of you with this pattern. All the detailing is in the hemline which is shaped with short rows to create the beautiful hemline.
