Reversible color patterned jacket is knit using the double knitting method. Jacket may be made smaller or larger by changing the gauge.

“Double Exposure has motifs that change from light to dark along the body and sleeves, creating a subtle color change and teases the eye.”

Double Exposure is a seamless, neck-down raglan worked in one piece to the underarms. Sleeve sts are put on hold while the body is finished. Sleeves sts are picked up and worked down to the cuff. Ribbed front band is incorporated into the body.

The two-colored ribbing is inelastic. 3-st I-cord finishes the front edges and an I-cord tie is used to hold the front closed (ties can be pulled from one side to the other depending on which side of the jacket is worn outward).
