Tulpan is the Ukrainian word for “tulip”,
and that is what inspired this garment.
Nature has always brought much
inspiration to my designs, with flowers
often serving as the focal point. I hope that
you take the time to delight in choosing
your colors for this project as much as you
enjoy making and wearing your colorful
new top.

Tulpan is worked from the top down in the round,
seamlessly. It has a round yoke construction which
flows effortlessly on your needles. After the collar
and yoke is completed, the knitting is separated to
create armholes when stitches are placed on hold
on each side of work. The body is then worked in
the round and a bit of colorwork is added before the
hem. Armhole stitches are then placed back onto
the needles from where the short sleeves emerge to
finish the project.
