The Seashore Jacket is half of a summer twinset. Knit and wear it on its own or with the Seashore Cami. Either way, you’ll enjoy long walks in nature, on the beach, or otherwise. Breezy diamond eyelet panes decorate this delicate jacket.

A tailored and classic set-in sleeve makes this an elevated piece with clean finishing. This piece has optional button holes in the neat double knit button band, and will fit into any summer wardrobe.

Layer the Seashore Jacket with any favorite cami (like the coordinating Seashore Cami), or wear the buttoned version on its own for a cute summer top.

This pattern is part of the Seashore Twin Set. You can find its jacket counterpart here.

Construction Notes

• This pattern is written with the sleeves knit first, so that you may block them and use them as a second and third swatch to ensure gauge. Then, the body is worked, bottom up, in one piece, split for front and back, and then the front pieces and back piece are completed separately. Finally, the whole garment is seamed together, and the neckband and button band are worked.

• Optional bust darts come in 4 sizes to add 1-5” / 2.5-12.5 cm vertically. Due to the stitch pattern repeat, these do not come in the regular 1” / 2.5 cm increments of other Aimee Sher patterns, so select your size carefully.
