April Jacket
A classic and beautiful jacket worked top-down with saddle shoulders. The jacket features many small, delicate details and is both fun and challenging to knit. It is thick, warm, and has a certain weight to it. The fit is oversized and roomy, making it perfect for layering over a warm sweater on cold days. The pattern includes two optional pocket placements, or the jacket
can be made without pockets. At www.fiskerknit.com and on the Fisker Knit YouTube channel, you’ll find tutorial videos for the jacket as well as how to make your own duffel coat buttons.
