The jacket is close fitting with a bodice. It is closed in the front with clasps. The middle piece on the chest is not closed. Here, a square piece is inserted. It is knitted separately and lightly attached inside the jacket.

The bodice, made in moss sts with bubbles, plus the following 3 pin tucks, is knit back and forth. Then, the work is gathered together and is knit in the round with the steek-stitches up until the armholes. Here, the work is divided again and then knit back and forth. Where only one number is apparent, it applies to all 3 sizes.
