Level of Difficulty – Beginner to Intermediate
Amazingly easy and quick to knit, this flattering A-Line jacket is worked in one piece with 2 yarns together of Adorn Silky Merino DK and 6.5mm and 5.5mm circular needles. The jacket has raglan shoulders and is worked from the top down in garter stitch and reverse stocking stitch. Garter stitch front bands are picked up and knitted when the body of the garment has been worked. There are no seams to sew and the sleeves are designed to be knitted in the round using the Magic Loop method (or DPNs if you prefer).
