About Floribunda: Floribunda is a wonderful addition to any wardrobe, warm and functional, and featuring an elegant yoke pattern with striking stylised roses. Floribunda is knitted in DK weight yarn with a simple construction, making it a highly enjoyable, interesting and speedy knit. Floribunda is worked in the round from the bottom up with a 'steek' worked at the centre front of the cardigan throughout. An attractive twisted rib stitch is worked for the welt, cuffs and bands giving a real sharpness to these sections of the cardigan.Once the lower body is completed, the sleeves are knit and then the three pieces are joined together and the upper body worked in one piece. The stunning yoke featuring the beautiful rose motif is then worked. Floribunda is knitted using [link: Susan Crawford Barn = barn :link], a DK weight yarn which is spun from 100% British wool creating a beautifully soft, airy, tonal, naturally grey yarn. This natural shade is called Dry Stone Wall and is the main colour for the Rosa sweater. This yarn has then been hand dyed here at our Lake District studio in three shades to create the hues needed for the rose motifs on the decorative yoke: Rosehip, a strong, vibrant red; Cottage Rose, a faded pink; and Folius, a leaf green.
