Nordic Bloom is a striking colorwork design that can be knit as a vest or cardigan. We'll cover traditional and ladderback jacquard techniques for colorwork as well as bottom-up sweater construction and steeking (cutting your knits!) and picking up buttonbands. This pattern is jam-packed with technique, but still accessible for students who can confidently knit and purl in the round, and have previous experience knitting from a pattern.
