Jaunty Jacket Reviewed by Karen Pasciullo on 2012-10-03
Just made my second jacket. First one was made in amethyst and the second one was made in barley. Both jackets are really beautiful. I omitted the collar and the buttonhole. I added a loop and button at the top of the front and edged the jacket using a slipstitch. This pattern works up really quickly. I didnt have any problem following the pattern at all. I really love working with this yarn.
