Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2007: “An escape from the ordinary. Teva Durham’s scalloped-lace jacket overlaps in the front and can be sized by merely moving the buttons. The fronts, back and sleeves are worked waist- and wrist-up, creating a foundation row to which the cuffs and hemline are later attached; they’re delineated by garter-stitch bands.”

“Standard-fitting jacket with collar and overlapped front, peplum and extra long sleeves.”

Note: Jacket is constructed by working the back, front and sleeves from the shoulders down to the lower edge. Triangular inserts fill in the scallops along the cast-on edges to even the edges and are worked later. The sleeve cuffs and lower edge peplum are worked from the lower edge upwards to utilize the scallop effect of the pattern.
