Jini pattern will be released on February 10th! To celebrate, there will be a special price promotion, so I hope you’ll check it out!

Meet the Jini Balaclava—a crochet piece that’s as warm as it is unique. “Jini—지니” is a Korean word meaning “to possess many blessings,” and that spirit shines through in its vibrant granny squares and a ribbed cowl that recalls knitted stitches. It’s the perfect way to stay cozy and add a bit of personality to your winter look.
