Notes

Nice easy garter stitch jacket knitted in one main piece from the bottom of the back, over the shoulders and cast off at the bottom of the front. I decided to add some length to the jacket so added 7cm to fronts and back. As a result nearly ran out of yarn so instead of buying another ball I just knitted rows of the collar until I had just enough to cast off so the collar is narrower than the pattern (see the patons pic to see the difference) but it looks fine. Lovely soft yarn.

Was lucky to find the yarn half price when House of Fraser shut their habidashery dept so quite economical :-)
