Tierney

Introducing our charming ribbed, double-breasted wrapover jacket, knitted using a beautiful horizontal rib stitch that adds a unique texture and style. Featuring large, retro-inspired buttons, this jacket exudes a vintage flair that is perfect for knitters looking to create a standout piece for their wardrobe.

Originally featured in The Knitter magazine, this versatile knitting pattern now offers enhanced features for your knitting enjoyment. You can choose to knit the jacket in one piece for a seamless look or opt for a two-piece style with a back seam, depending on your preference. The pattern also includes options for both short and long sleeves, allowing you to customize the jacket to suit any season. The intricate shaping is skillfully designed using short rows, making this a rewarding project for knitters of various skill levels.
