Procedure
The jacket – in garter stitch – is worked vertically, starting from a knitted I-cord along the left front. From here you work a variety of stripes and plain colored gussets in short row technique giving the jacket its flattering flared shape. Fronts and back are all in one piece. The sleeves are worked separately and set into the armholes along an edge of chain stitches.
