About The Design:
These motifs come from an c.1838 jacquard-woven border pattern for a coverlet. The original weaver was Andrew Kump, of Hanover, PA.

Jacquard weaves put wonderfully graphic and colorful patterns into our early American homes. Though I have woven my share of simple yard goods, a part of me wishes to experience making these intricate weaves - hence, the bursting of these motifs into my hand knitting expression.

This jacket comes in one size only, but, certainly, changing your gauge will yield alternate sizes.

I’ve used a zipper and single pewter clasp set, instead of all clasps or buttons, so as not to interfere with the pattern. Art-to-Wear with a history!
