Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2008: “An allover traveling cable pattern brings to mind flower petals strewn across the body of Patrick’s low-necked jacket with lapels, and with good reason: Geranium is the color name of the yarn used, ‘Julia’ from Nashua Handknits/Westminster Fibers.”

“Standard-fitting jacket with slanting cables and collar with lapels and garter trim on all edges.”
