Country Casual
Introducing a relaxed smart-casual stylish jacket, perfect for any occasion where comfort meets elegance. This beautifully crafted jacket features a soft shawl collar knitted in garter stitch, which is gracefully framed by the edge stitches of the two front panels. The pocket edgings are meticulously finished in garter stitch, providing a polished, tailored appearance that enhances its overall charm. The main body of the jacket showcases an intricate four-row twist stitch pattern that adds texture and sophistication to the design. The inspiration for this exquisite piece came during a delightful dining experience at an Italian restaurant, where I noticed a gentleman at the adjacent table sporting this soft, casual jacket made from a loosely woven, slightly tweedy fabric. Captivated by the look, I was inspired to sketch out my own version as soon as I got home - and I’m thrilled to present it here to you!
