I am slowly catching up on the released patterns from 2021. Next out is the Senna Jacket knitted in the divine hand dyed Neighborhood Fiber Co. Organic Studio Worsted with bespoke buttons by Siri Berrefjord. The shade Woodberry looked stunning on model Olivia Lindtein wearing both the jacket and the Seneka skirt, which can also be worn as a poncho or maxi hood! Her hair & make-up is by Sissel Fylling, the jewellery is borrowed from Kaja Gjedebo Design and brilliant photographer Eivind Røhne captured it all! The English and Norwegian pattern is available in my Ravelry Store and on LoveCrafts.
Senna is a botanical name of Arabic origin meaning brightness and suited this long oversized cardigan with a deep v-neck and A-line shaping. Elaborate cables cover the center back, while only one single cable adorns each front and sleeve. A wavy tuck introduces the cables from the check rib bottom. Senna is knitted in the divine Neighborhood Fiber Co. Organic Studio Worsted with side pockets worked together with the front. Bespoke buttons act like small gems and highlight the beautiful hand dyed shade. Wear Senna with the matching Seneka; as a skirt or a poncho or a maxi hood.
