The HANA sweater by Junko Okamoto with its oversized box silhouette has been a long-time favourite of ours.
Here is our version knit in the fun Tweedy by Hedgehog Fibres.
Hana is knit like a patchwork sweater. The front and back are each made up of three pieces, knitted with a modular technique. Using a thread in one contrasting colour, or in our version two, body, sleeves, shoulder and side seams are assembled with embroidery. The neck hem and the cuffs are decorated with embroidery as well with the blanket stitch.
