Notes

This seemed to take forever to knit! I hate knitting with chunky yarn, so why I thought that making a jacket with a combination of cables and moss stitch was a good idea I’m not sure. But I think it was almost worth it for the finished object, it’s a lovely jacket!

I made the sleeves a bit longer, so they come down to my wrists, which will have used a bit more yarn than the pattern, but I don’t think it will have used the 1.25 balls extra compared to the pattern (I used a different yarn, but it has the same yardage).

Swatching for this one - 7mm needles, before washing 13sts/4”, 20rows/4”, after washing 12sts/20rows/4”.
