Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2007:
“Wallin, Rowan’s in-house designer, was studying science when her right brain won out, steering her to follow her heart: a degree in knitwear design from Leicester Polytechnic. Her logical left brain is still just as active, though, as the vertical panel construction of this boxy cropped jacket attests. Long strips of various cables and colors are worked in one piece, intarsia-style, in ‘Cocoon’ by rowan/Westminster Fibers. The dropped shoulder sleeves are done in a basketweave stitch.”

“Loose-fitting wrap jacket with 3-color cabled fronts and basket weave back and sleeves. Sized for Small, Medium, Large X-Large and shown in size Small on page 80.”
