JACINTA BOWIE’S stunning jacket has a neat, tailored look, thanks to details such as tubular hems, i-cord trims for the fronts and neck edging, and a hidden fastening created from an i-cord. Worked in five colours, the jacket is further embellished with elaborate embroidery using multiple colours of John Arbon yarn.

The pattern includes a link to a photo tutorial for the embroidery stitches used
