Jatoba Jakke

This is the perfect between-the-seasons sweater, a warm and comfortable cardigan that is easy to wear and easy to knit. The cropped relaxed style is flattering on all kinds of bodies and the beginner-friendly 1-row hiccup rib knits up fast. Will you choose the generous shawl collar or the jaunty mandarin-style collar for your Jatoba?

Jatoba Jakke is a tailored cropped cardigan or jacket with overlapping fronts and a generous shawl collar – or not! There is also a short-collar version in the pattern.
