This beautifully textured jacket is worked seamlessly from the top down. The different stitch patterns are easy but fun to knit.

Three length options are provided (grey=long, purple=medium, teal=short). The short option has gentle waist shaping and no pockets; the medium and long options have a slight A-line shape and pockets.
