La Jefa is the BOSS LADY! (pronounced: La He-fa)
She is a seamless loose lace sweater constructed in a simple but unusual way. It is worked flat in two halves and then joined together with back and side panels. The pattern includes detailed construction illustrations… and a lot of support!

La Jefa is part of the Novus Collection, which also includes Hot Flash and Las Cruces Sweaters.
