The motif design for this is inspired by the Guiding
Star symbol which is known in many cultures - leading
us and lighting the way to our goal in life.

In the northern hemisphere the pre-eminent bright
star used in celestial navigation is the Pole Star or
Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), indicating the approximate
direction of north.

Many traditional fairisle knitting motifs feature a star
a favourite with knitters – as it lends itself so well to
the stranded colour work technique.

Two colours are knitted into each row, the colours alternately carried behind the work to create a soft and lightweight double-layer fabric which has excellent insulation qualities - wonderful to snuggle into on a cool day.

This is a luxurious and generous-size jacket up to 30 inches length, with two concealed pockets and shawl collar.
