Close-fitting short jacket with simple two-color pattern on the sleeves that is common to the Scandinavian and Baltic region. Lower body is worked in garter stitch in one piece to the armholes; then the back and fronts are divided and worked separately to the shoulders. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole, and sleeves are worked circularly down to the garter stitch cuff in two-color stranded stockinette.
