When all raglan increases are finished, the work is divided into body and sleeves and each part is finished separately.
The sleeves, front edges and the neck band are all finalized with I-cords.
Finally, one of the 3 given motifs are embroidered on the back.
This pattern includes 3 different embroidery motifs, Merry-Go-Round, Tivoli Garden and Lollipop.

There are so many beautiful and nostalgic details in an amusement park with its colours, shapes and structures. It’s almost as if you can smell the cotton candy and popcorn and hear the carousel spinning just by thinking about it. Remembering what it was like to wait and hope that the carousel seat you dreamed of would be available when it was finally your turn, whether you wanted the beautiful horse, the elegant swan or the magical teacup.
The beautiful details decorate the lovely cardigan with three different embroideries to choose between: the pretty carousel, the beautiful horse or the colourful lollipop.
