The cables crossing in the back take the centre of the attention in this hoodie, but it has so many little details that make it beautiful: horizontal braiding in the yoke, side pockets with smaller braids, roomy hood…
Knit from the top down, Jenica is not a traditional cardigan… It is built in a way that will make you have lots of fun while working it. You will be going from one piece to another, changing directions… The heavy weight yarn makes this pattern a very fast knit, and since it is seamless, very little finishing is required.
