Anna Johanna’s Camellia knitting pattern is especially designed for our Tukuwool DK yarn. Camellia is a relaxed sweater knitted from the top-down. The chosen shades of Tukuwool DK, Valo and Tyyni showcase the lovely damask inspired pattern.
The sweater is worked seamlessly and the colorwork is mirrored on the cuffs and hem. The body of the sweater is rather boxy and the hem is cropped. Corrugated rib adds the finishing touches to this Camellia sweater.
