From pattern description:
“Oversized jacket with floral collar.”

From Vogue Knitting, Fall 2002:
“A rich tapestry - embroidered with cross-stitch over knit stitches in a harvest of rich, rich color - graces the fabulous face-framing collar and generous cuffs of this elegant jacket. The body is knit with two strands of angora-blend yarn; the collar and cuffs, with one. A-line shaping is created with a center-back cable. I-cord edgings and set-in pockets provide the finishing details.”
