This all purpose and stylish jacket shows off your knitting talents and lets you indulge in lace, slipped stitches and mosaics. The main body is knitted sideways and the yoke with raglan shaping is knitted all in one. Short rows are used to add shaping to the sides. An excellent combination with Butterfly cotton as it has such great stitch definition. The inspiration came from the Greek yarn I first found on the island of Samos—once home to the great mathematician Pythagoras who would have liked the geometric construction and patterns!

I will be adding larger sizes in due course!
