The awesome man’s jacket CORLEONE is in a relaxed fit in a textured pattern - vertical stripes formed by a fisherman stitch giving a wide-wise elastic garment. The jacket is worked from right-side front across the back to left-side front - no side seams. The wool used is a chunky weight 100 % merino wool making a heavy weight garment. The patterns are worked from charts and the written pattern also holds photos sustaining the text. The sleeves are worked from shoulder downwards.
Knowledge required is just how to knit and purl. The is not difficult to make for yourself – this work of knitting is interesting and quite fast.
The pattern is available in English, German, Italian and Danish.
