Texture and technique enough to please any knitter, with pieces that fit together like a good puzzle. Body is combination of garter and slip-stitch patterns, complemented with one cable panel on the sleeve, saddle shoulder, and front band, and finished off with I-cord on the front edge.

Lower body is worked in one piece to the armholes; then back and fronts are divided and worked separately in pattern to the shoulders. Sleeves are worked from cuff to shoulders, with the central cable continuing into the saddle shoulder extensions. Jacket is put together with three-needle bind-off.
