The details you’ll love making

How it comes together
The jacket begins with a shaped yoke worked back and forth; the sleeves are knitted in the round. After the knitting comes a little hand finishing: fold and sew the picot edges, knit the ties, crochet the button loop and sew on the button.
It’s a project for a maker who enjoys both shaping and those final details.
