About the design…
MINIMUM is a very light jacket, worked seamlessly from top to down.
Start by knitting a collar/shoulder piece in stockinette stitch - first the collar, then the back, and finally the 2 front pieces.
On the shoulder, stitches are picked up for the top of the sleeve, and all parts are now worked in Brioche Stitch. When the upper part of the body is finished, it is divided into body and sleeves. The body part is worked to the desired length, and finished with a hem in stockinette stitch, which is longer on the back than in the front.
The sleeves are worked top-down and in the round, and finished with a cuff in Stockinette stitch.
