Jamaila is one of those versatile, airy garments that you can’t help loving. In fact, with its loose, comfortable fit and lots of positive ease it might well become your favourite. It is a fast crochet and has no seams, the perfect garment for the summer or when you need a nice companion for a chilly day. Combined with a blouse or a long sleeved t-shirt it is also a fashionable companion for the winter, and using the correct colours and yarn it could be an elegant garment for that special social occasion.
You can choose to crochet a cardigan, an asymmetric vest or tunic, with either short or long sleeves. You may find you like it enough to make all of them!
Furthermore, you can adjust Jamaila to other yarn weights easily or crochet it longer or shorter. The pattern contains a workshop on how to achieve this.
