The upper part of the jacket is knitted flat from side to side, starting at the left sleeve cuff, continuing across the back and fronts, and ends at the right sleeve cuff. After sewing the side and sleeve seams, stitches are picked up for the peplum, which can be knitted to the desired length. The seed stitch band between the upper part and the peplum holds in the width below the bust line. The jacket is buttoned with one single button.

Any good quality yarn can be used that has a nice drape and can be knitted to match gauge.

The jacket shown in the pictures has been knitted in size M. The lace pattern makes the jacket very stretchy and comfortable to wear.
