This jacket looks lovely over a shell knitted with one of the two colors used in the jacket.

Knitted with 2 colors of 2/24 yarn using 2 strands of each color. It is very inexpensive to knit! In the fair isle pattern at stitch size 4.1 on the standard gauge machine, 38 stitches/46 rows=4”. Yardage requirements are for each color of yarn and include the fact that the yarn is used doubled.
NOTES: Weights should be used at the edges of the work and may be needed elsewhere. Before beginning work, clean the brushes and wheels on sinker plate and make sure that all spin freely. If a different fair isle card is chosen, select one with small floats. Review the fair isle knitting instructions for your machine. Passap knitters need to know how to work single bed fairisle and choose a suitable Deco card to use this design. The card used for the sample is not suitable for Passaps. This is possible on a Passap but Passap language is not used so consider this a project for advanced Passap knitters only.The two largest sizes will not be possible on Passaps.
