Striking and versatile, Tursa is the perfect cardigan for fending off chilly weather while layering effortlessly over your favorite outfits.

Its relaxed, comfortable silhouette is paired with exciting yet easy-to-knit mosaic colorwork, offering the best of both worlds – style and simplicity.

Tursa encourages playful exploration with color, looking equally stunning in subtle, muted tones or bold, head-turning combinations. The cozy collar and cuffs add a touch of flair, wrapping you in warmth and comfort, inviting you to cocoon in its soft embrace.

The pattern includes instructions to tailor Tursa to your unique style, allowing you to create a personalized fit that’s just right for you.



CONSTRUCTION


The Tursa cardigan is a seamless, top-down design. You begin by casting on stitches for the back and shaping the shoulders using short rows. The back is then worked in a mosaic pattern until you reach the underarms. Next, stitches for the front sections are picked up from the back piece and worked in a mirrored fashion, also up to the underarms.

The front and back of the sleeves are joined using a Modified 3-Needle Bind Off. From there, the body is worked in one piece down to the lower edge. Stitches for the front bands and collar are picked up and worked in a 2×2 rib pattern, with the collar shaped using short rows. For the sleeve ribbing, stitches are picked up and worked in 2×2 rib in the round.
