Hayami – rare and unusual beauty in Japanese – is a high-low pullover in stockinette stitch with a cabled Kangaroo pocket and swinging side panels that ends in a high turtleneck collar. The Hayami pattern has been released in both English and Norwegian in my Ravelry Store after a successful test knit in my group. The pullover – made for Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk – was photographed by Eivind Røhne back in December in Bøler Church, worn by the beautiful jazz singer Anette Løvtangen with make-up & hair by Hina Suleman. Yarn kits will soon be available directly from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.
Hayami – rare and unusual beauty in Japanese – is a high-low pullover in stockinette stitch with a cabled Kangaroo pocket and swinging side panels that ends in a high turtleneck collar. The side panels are picked up and knitted after the side seams are done. The pocket is knitted at the end. Wear it as you like; hanging loose or gathered with a belt or with a shawlpin at the front. Hayami is knitted in the pelt wool yarn Tinde with lustre from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk.
