Description

The Moonflower Pullover draws its inspiration from designer Cheryl Toy’s creative journey, in her explorations with a simple leaf motif that evolved to include a vine, and then a flower. This motif repeats to form the beautiful circular yoke design featured on this pullover. With three sleeve variations available – short, bracelet, or full-length – and the added flexibility of optional waist shaping, you have the freedom to customize this pullover to your preferences. The pullover is close-fitting, with little to no ease, and is knitted seamlessly in the round from the top down using circular yoke shaping. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is worked in smooth stockinette stitch, finishing with a neat ribbed hem.

Based in the American Deep South, the designer handpicked Luma to make this cardigan because of the suitability of the plant-based fibres for warm-weather knitting. This luxurious blend combines organic cotton and linen with silk and fine Merino wool, offering both warmth and breathability.

Please note: this kit contains the yarn amounts for the long-sleeve and three-quarter-sleeve versions of the pullover.
