Ja Ja Cardigan knitting pattern and add-on kit

This is the Ja Ja Add-On kit... simply choose your yarn and add it to your basket, along with this add-on, and we will make it up into a kit for you - it will include the pattern and an ECY printed cotton project bag.

Please note that we will only post out this add-on as part of a full kit, ie. with the yarn bought for the sweater (you will need 1300m - 2,200m depending on the size required)

About the pattern

Ja Ja by Åsa Tricosa: Large buttons, structural tailoring and a pop of eye-catching colour makes Ja Ja a perfect piece for every occasion. It will be as equally at home in a more formal environment as it will in a casual, laid-back affair. Adding a sharper, edgier element to the Drift Collection, this knitted jacket would be an excellent accompaniment to jeans and leather boots. Ja Ja is knitted with the Åsa Tricosa Ziggurat method: all in one go from top to bottom, not a seam in sight. Ja Ja is a challenging knit which will be oh-so-satisfying to wear.
