The Design

"Pop on for chilly days."

Designer Julie Hoover calls Post a ‘fully fashioned popover.’ An elegant blend between a poncho and a capelet, it’s just the piece to pop on for an added layer of warmth on chilly days. Vents at each side allow for free arm movement, while a short, upstanding collar keeps you nice and cozy.

Post was designed by Julie Hoover, collaborating with Shibui Knits, using DK-weight Shibui Nest.

This six-page pattern includes:

• Lovely full-color photography
• A clear design/sizing schematic
• A brief abbreviations glossary
