The Teddy Zip is a cozy, textured unisex jacket that will become a quick favourite in your wardrobe. The body knits up quick using three strands of yarn: two strands of worsted weight boucle yarn and one strand of worsted weight wool yarn. The jacket is finished with the installation of a full length zipper, sewn into a zipper lining for a professional finish. Tubular cast off and bind offs are utilized for a neat look.
