The next set of photos from our photoshoot at Galleri Würth back in June, are of the gorgeous model Ammal Ahmed Haj Mohamed, with make-up & hair by Hina Suleman, wearing Emika. Photographer Eivind Røhne captured all these amazing photos.

I chose to style it over the pullover Maimi – as the colours looked great together – and both are designed for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk. Of course, Norway is perfect for layering as it can get very cold in the winter. I also know that layering is popular and certainly a good way of dressing those days when you seem to have several seasons in one day…

To wear it as a poncho, with the long lengths worn at the front and back, was something the model Ammal Ahmed Haj Mohamed automatically did when she put it on.

Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk makes yarn kits for each design, hence we also photograph Emika without the pullover too. I also thought it would be a good opportunity to show how it can be worn over a party outfit too!

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. As usual we had a fun day, as you can see from the photo above!

Kits are available directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk and the individual pattern in English is available on Ravelry.
