Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Spring 2005: “For this fitted jacket, Deborah Newton has combined several novelty yarns in a variety of pinks to get the look of a plush tweed fabric. After swatching various yarns and pattern stitches, she found just the right play of textures - nubby against smooth, matte against shiny, and metallic against frosty. The final touch? Deborah added vintage buttons she had been saving for something special.”
