Hakobe is a cardigan with flower pattern. It is knitted side to side, so the flower pattern goes vertically. With a boxy silhouette and moderate ease, it is easy to wear. The floral pattern is feminine and gives a girly atmosphere. Hakobe is a type of wild flower with white petals.

Although a simple knit, some unique shoulder stitches help keep your attention. The Isager Alpaca yarn is soft and light, with the addition of Isagar Silk Mohair for delicacy and beauty. These yarns are perfect for expressing the delicacy and strength of wild flowers.
