Pottery Shard Jacket
This women’s jacket is knit from the bottom hem up in pieces. The body is worked back and forth in stockinette with set-in sleeves. The shawl collar and front bands are worked with geometric shapes in a contrasting color, using a stranded knitting technique. The front closes with large buttons and knitted I-cord loops.
Yarn requirements:
Main color (Natural #8015): 2 (2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4) skeins
Contrast Color (Mocha #8085): 1 (1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2) skeins.
Inspiration: The indigenous people of the American Southwest had many different types of decoration for their pottery, but many utilized a light/dark combination of geometric motifs. We are fortunate enough to live near Tsankawi, a lesser known site that’s part of Bandelier National Monument. If you walk along the paths at Tsankawi, you will almost always see broken shards of pottery along the way.
