Pattern description from Knit.1, Spring/Summer 2008: “Uptown class meets downtown sass. Galina Carroll’s curve-hugger of a ribbed jacket means business in tweedy ‘Royal Bamboo’ from Plymouth Yarn, yet is party-ready in Be Sweet’s teal-toned ‘Bamboo.’ The body’s wide k3, p2 rib tapers at the edges into a k1, p1 scheme. The front also sports a coy fold-over collar and secures with button-covered snap closures.”

Notions: three 7/8” / 22mm buttons and three size 10 sew-on metal snaps, stitch markers
