The Audrey Jacket is a timeless classic, perfect for wearing over an evening dress or to add some elegance to denim jeans. The jacket is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. First the back is worked back and forth. Stitches are then picked up from the cast-on edge to form each shoulder and short rows are used to achieve the perfect shoulder drape. The shoulders are then joined to the back and worked back and forth to your desired length before finishing with an I-cord edging. Stitches are picked up along the armhole for the sleeves, and short rows are worked to provide further shoulder shaping, before working in the round in stockinette stitch. The cuff is then worked with an I-cord edge. Two options are provided for the sleeves: a regular fit and a more narrow fit for a chic look. Stitches are picked up along each side of the jacket to work button bands. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neck edge and an I-cord edge is worked.
