Poca

Poca is a seamless side to side sweater made with my Novus Construction. It is designed to be a lighter weight fall jacket, with dolman sleeves, a relaxed fit and integrated pockets. If you have never knit a Novus Sweater before this is an easy pattern to dive in with… if you have then I think you will be highly amused with the modifications I have made to the construction!
