Ogasawara by Eisaku Noro Design Team

New NATSUMEKI #8 Kuwana welcomes summer in tropical hues. Front and back are knit the same—each one large square—before the pieces are joined for the yoke, with cast-on stitches making cap sleeves. The lace-patterned yoke creates dusky waves in violet, lime, and navy.
