This pattern can be found in issue 13 of Laine Magazine.

Kodikas is a seamless top-down pullover with a textured pattern on the front. The sweater has an unusual neck opening in the versatile but underappreciated henley style.

The name Kodikas means “cosy” in Finnish, and the pattern was inspired by the rustic yarn – it has a laid-back, natural look. A big influence was also the new emphasis on size inclusiveness. Hanna Maciejewska wanted to create a shape that would work well with all sizes.
