This is smart little design inspired by the timeless look of Chanel’s famous little jackets.
I called this design “Westminster” mainly because of the lovely muted shading of this particular yarn, reflecting the hues of The Palace of Westminster.
The main stitch used is a simple 2 row broken rib pattern, with striped garter stitch curved borders. So fairly simple knitting but achieving a striking look.
