"The colors in this jacket remind us of logging roads edged with flowering goatweed. The jacket has a tapered bodice and dolman sleeves that slip into a saddle-shouldered yoke. The kimono collar is added after the rest of the jacket has been completed. Rolled down, it becomes a shawl collar with soft lapels."



Pattern calls for "sport weight yarn at about 1600 yards per pound" with the model made in the Rauma Finullgarn. MC 11-13 oz, CC 9-11 oz, accent A 2 oz, accent B 2 oz.
