What we love about this jacket, which is really quite a simple knit, is the way that it becomes a canvas for playing with different colors. It can be done in everything from an elegant gradient wash of color to a bright and cheerful color mash-up to a springtime or autumnal impressionistic masterpiece. The linen stitch works to integrate the colors as they change, and creates an appealing woven-fabric look that is both beautiful and dense enough to provide a cozily warm layer for cooler days.

Written for two sizes using our own hand dyed worsted-weight wool/alpaca blend or equivalent yarn.

We recommend using 5 or more colors for the biggest color impact.
