Chart for the colorwork. Check pattern is worked using intarsia.
Knit in one piece to the underarm, then divided.

Worked throughout a swingy zippered jacket, a check pattern pops in coral Cashmerino Aran and silver Luxury Tweed Aran. Chunky bouclé Lara creates a fur effect at the pointed collar. Garter stitch trims the edges.
