The Norwegian pattern will be added shortly.

Emika – beautiful bloom in Japanese - is a cape adorned with cables divided in two by a ribbed neckband. Knitted in one piece with shaping for the neck and tidy double knitted edges to make it hang straight. Wear it as you like; hanging loose across your shoulders as a cape or hanging down along your body as a poncho or thrown across one shoulder like a shawl. Emika is knitted in the soft Norwegian lambswool yarn Sol from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk and can be worn as a set over the Maimi pullover.
