About pattern
The jacket is worked bottom up. The sleeves are worked in the round. You can choose to knit the first part of the body in the round or knit it back and forth. From the armpits the jacket is worked flat for both choices.

The sleeves and body are assembled with raglan. The bands and the collar are knitted afterword, and the buttonholes are made on the right side.

Some parts of the jacket are knitted with double thread, the squares, the collar, and the bands.
