This pattern is part of my 5 pattern collection Incense Route, a collaboration with Malabrigo Yarn for their Malabrigo Freelance Pattern Project.

Yathrib is the ancient name for the modern city Medina. It is not far from the Red Sea, so has a windswept climate, but is also situated in the desert. Reversible cables mimic the swirling sand and are a nod to the cooler nights. This one color, buttonless jacket is worked from the top down in one piece, then divided to work the 3/4 sleeves separately. Faux side seams are created by a single column of garter stitches at each side of the body with waist shaping on either side of this “seam.” The edging is attached to the front and neck, as well as the cuffs, to make a seamless garment.
