If you want to see this garment in person, it will be in the fashion show at STITCHES SoCal, and then in the vendor booth for Stunning String Studios. The show is 14-17 November 2019 in Pasadena, California.

This is a competent novice versa lace project. While it is not difficult, it is a lot of knitting.

Techniques you already know:
lace: yarn overs, right- and left-slanted decreases
1×1 ribbing; knit 1, purl 1
knitting center-out in the round

Techniques you may be learning:
double yarn-overs
reversible decreases in ribbing
center-out reversible cast-on
German short rows

Jacket starts in the center back. Armholes are parked on waste yarn and opened up later. Sleeves are worked top down. To work ad finitum, work about an inch past the sleeve opening, then go back and add sleeves. After sleeves are completed, finish circle with remaining yarn. Alternatively, you can work the circle to desired size and just make shorter sleeves if you run short of yarn.

Can also be worked as a reversible circle shawl by leaving out the sleeve openings.

Pattern is essentially gauge-less, since you simply increase until the garment is the correct size.

Video support is on the designer’s blog and YouTube channel.

This e-booklet file is half-sheet formatted with all the pages in normal order including the blank inside covers. If you have a smaller tablet or you read off your smart phone, you shouldn’t have to zoom as much. You can also print this size if you print on 5.5 x 8 inch paper — i.e. half-sheet. If you’d like a center-fold booklet, use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and choose the “booklet” option when you print to regular 8.5 x 11 paper.
