Short and Sweet by Jacqueline van Dillen

Craft: Knitting

A pattern featuring NORO yarn Kakigori.

RIFFING ON HER POPULAR PULLOVER DESIGN FROM NORO SPRING/SUMMER 2018, Jacqueline van Dillen trims a little around the edges, dropping the sleeves and altering the relaxed fit into a cute cropped silhouette. The resulting top uses the same offset chevron stripe, knit this time in KAKIGORI #4 Moriguchi and #8 Iwaki. Here, the chevron pattern, which is knitted in strips and seamed at the center, creates a natural ripple at the hem.
