Lily Jacket
Exerimenting on spiral scarfs, I found that the small sample swatches curled into flower shapes. From there I tought of a summer jacket with a flower corsage. The shape is reminiscent of the classic chnale style with width on the hips for that vintage full skirt.
The lovely think about this mercerised cotton is the stitch definition and the sheen of the yarn. The three colour moss stitch works
particularly well with the crisp stitch definition.
For a neat edge on the three colour moss stich bands and the collar, always slip the last stitch of each row with the yarn at the
wrong side of the work. Start the next row with the next colour of the sequence working the stitch through the loop on the wrong
side of the work, i.e for a RS facing row the stich is knitted through the back of the loop.
