Tortula

Introducing the exquisite Tortula Ruralis Cardigan, inspired by the captivating Star Moss found across our beautiful planet, from the Arctic to South Africa! This delightful bryophyte not only plays a crucial role in maintaining soil moisture, but it also serves as the muse for this charming diaphanously fluent cardigan design.

This knitting pattern features a stylish v-neck cardigan crafted from the top down, showcasing elegant raglan shaping for a flattering fit. The design is enhanced with set-in pockets that combine both function and style, along with a gentle ruffled neckline that adds a touch of femininity. Throughout the project, yarn is held double in two contrasting colors, creating a stunning and complex colorway that is visually captivating. Additionally, there are single-color accents for a refined finish.

For this cardigan, we recommend using Aloft yarn by Knit Picks. This luxurious lace yarn is composed of 75% Mohair and 25% Silk, providing both softness and sheen. Each skein contains 246 yards and weighs 25 grams, making it an ideal choice for delicate and airy garments.

Approximate yarn requirements are as follows: Main Color (MC) - 4 (4, 5, 5) 6, 6, 6 {7} skeins; Contrast Color (CC) - 4 (4, 5, 5) 6, 6, 6 {7} skeins. Don’t forget to gather the necessary notions: you'll need 11-15 18mm buttons or buttons that fit your chosen buttonholes.

This vibrant and versatile cardigan is perfect for layering and can be worn on any occasion, whether casual or dressy.
