Weekend Jacket Revisited
To commemorate a decade of publication, renowned designer Sandi Prosser has launched an updated edition of her beloved Weekend Jacket knitting pattern. This innovative version features simplified construction techniques, making it easier than ever to knit while preserving the stylish simplicity and elegance of the original design. The main body of the jacket is skillfully worked from side to side, maximizing the vibrant effects of variegated yarn. Adding to its charm, a simple shawl collar is crafted as an extension of the fronts and seamlessly seamed at the center back, refreshing this timeless classic. This versatile pattern includes detailed instructions for both a short and a long version (with the long version beautifully showcased in the images).
