This loose-fitting jacket is a fun take on the classic Chanel shape. An allover bobble pattern, worked in stripes of just one color per row, adds textural interest to the couture fit. I-cord edging around the neck and front opening give a polished finish that reflects the I-cord cast-ons along the lower edges of the body and sleeves.
