JACKET

A classic shawl-collared jacket pattern for smart casual wear in warm weather, with a sheer transparent look and a very soft drape that hugs the body closely. Tailored for comfort with a fitted collar on a V-neckline, sloping shoulders, tapered raglan sleeves and either a straight body profile or optional waist shaping for both women and men. Worked from the top downwards in an easy diamond mesh of medium size. Includes optional butterfly lace motifs that can be placed as desired. #sizeinclusive
