This is the top down version of the first original Hulda Jacket, though now with more sizes and also with multiple gauge alternatives.

Designed with an ulterior motive that this jacket is suitable for a career woman as well as for a soccer mom, the silhouette is simple and the three dimensional striping is done with varying garter and stockinette stitch. Inspired by among others a fictional character Juurakon Hulda; a proud and confident woman who wants a bit more from her life, by a Finnish author and play writer Hella Wuolijoki.

The jacket is worked top down in one piece without any seams.
