***
Nodoka is in Japanese, means “Quiet, relaxation and calm”,
and can also mean “clear and calm weather”.
Nodoka is a long-sleeved lace pullover with a relaxed fit.
It’s the sister version of Aika and also knitted in a loose gauge making it a versatile garment.
Nodoka has a shorter length from underarm to hem than Aika
and has buttons at the back neck, so it can be worn more elegance.

This pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down. It features a circular yoke, cable ribbing, texture with colorwork and eyelet patterns knitted in a loose gauge. German short rows are worked for the neckline, upper yoke and after separating sleeves to provide a more relaxed fit. The neck is knitted back and forth and two buttons are attached at the back.

晴れた空で天候がうららかな様子のことも意味します.
ゆったりとフィットする長袖のレースプルで, Aika(愛花)の姉妹版です.
ローゲージで編まれているため着回しがきき,
脇下から裾までの長さはAika(愛花)より少し短めになっています.
後ろ襟をボタンで留めるようになっていて,
よりエレガントに着こなせます.

このプルオーバーはトップダウンでとじはぎ無しで編み進めます. 円形ヨークで, ケーブルを使ったリブと編み込みを使った模様, そしてレース模様を緩やかなゲージで編んでいきます. ネックラインとヨーク上部, そして袖分け後に行うGerman short rowsによって, 着心地がよりリラックスしたものとなります. 首周りは往復編みで編み, 後ろにボタンをふたつ付けます.
