Pattern Description: “Knitting with a vibrant recycled silk-and-wool blend is an adventure worth trying. I wanted to play with lots of colors in this side-to-side jacket. On this coat of many colors, you too can experiment with how you want the color sequence to move. I picked my favorite skeins of colors and put them in front of me in a line, and I moved them around until I found a pleasing combination. Make a swatch or several swatches to see how the colors look when knit. The colors in a skein will have a different appearance when next to another color. Have fun with this project. Jump in and enjoy!” p. 59
