Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

Here is a brand new pattern, revamped from one of my 90s designs, for standard gauge knitting machines (no ribber required.) A lovely smart or evening jacket which is a convenient cover up, if you are out on a chilly evening and want a warm layer with a bit of added sparkle. Great jacket to coordinate with your ‘little black dress’.

The garment itself is in simple stocking stitch, with gorgeous hand tooled lace and fair isle detailing, which gives an unusual, shaped, wavy hemline.

In Yeoman 4ply Cashmilon 100% acrylic and Yeoman Starlight 4 ply in Rich Gold, however, any 4 ply yarn can be substituted if tension matches. In sizes 38 - 46 bust. For knitters with intermediate experience.
