Lyon Circle Jacket
We can’t say enough about the fabulous Lyon Circle Jacket, designed by Kimberly McAlindin. While it may look like a cropped shawl-collared jacket, it’s a much more interesting design. the jacket is started as a ring of four chains joined into a circle. Kimberley then worked increases, just as you would for the center of many granny squares. The rounds are continuous, so you just keep going until you get to the armholes. The result is a fabulous all-season stunner.
