Korsvika Jacket Junior Light is an oversized drop-shoulder jacket with wide sleeves that is knit from the top down in stockinette stitch. Stitches are cast on for the back and German Short-Rows are worked to slightly slope the shoulders. The back panel is worked until the underarm, then stitches are picked up for the shoulders. The right and left front sections are worked separately, and the neckline is shaped on each panel with increases towards the front opening. The front panels are knit until the underarm, and connected to the back panel. The jacket is then worked flat and ends in 2x2 ribbing. The sleeves are picked up and knit in the round with decreases, ending in a wide cuff in 2x2 ribbing. Stitches are picked up for the neckline, which is worked double-folded in 2x2 ribbing. Finally, the double-knitted button band is worked, and the jacket is finished with buttons.
