**Knitting Suggestions:** To ensure a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience, take a moment to read through the entire pattern before beginning. The jacket is skillfully worked from the top down, starting with the yoke. After completing the yoke, it’s important to keep the sleeve stitches on a stitch holder—extra circular needles can work perfectly for this purpose—as you continue working on the body of the jacket. This garment is knitted in the round, and there are 6 steek stitches incorporated in the front throughout the design. Please note that these 6 stitches are not included in any of the pattern charts. For the steeking process, a sewing machine will be necessary. Detailed instructions on how to securely sew and cut your knitted fabric are included in the pattern.

To prevent long floats on the wrong side while working the intricate stranded pattern, it’s recommended to catch the yarn float after every 3rd stitch. To achieve an even and polished look, avoid catching the float in the same spot for two consecutive rows, as this may become noticeable on the right side of your finished piece. Regularly stretching the right-hand stitches as you knit will also help maintain a lovely stretchy fabric, preventing it from becoming too tightly knitted. This technique not only ensures flexibility but also enhances the overall drape and comfort of the finished jacket.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern will guide you through creating a stunning wool jacket that combines style and functionality. Enjoy the process and the beautiful results!
