Janina-sweater got its inspiration from a lovely singer Janina Suihkola and from her love of knitting, Norwegian mountains and nature.

Janina is knitted seamlessly from top down with lace patterns in the yoke part and at the bottom of the hem. The lace pattern is followed from two different charts. The whole yoke is knitted from chart 1 until the separation phase, after which knit stockinette to the desired length. After this, the last patterns are knitted from chart 2.
