Carcade or Roselle or Hibiscus — I bet you’ve tried this flower infusion? Its deep colour and beautiful flowers are mesmerizing. So why not give this gorgeous pullover with delicate floral colour work its name. And while you’re casting on, I’m going to brew myself a cup of hibiscus tea.

Worked top down seamless in the round, the pullover features round yoke decorated with lateral braids and a hem with intricate “inside out” floral colour work pattern.
