SKILL LEVEL - Intermediate / Advanced Knitter.
Feedback from test knitter:
‘Just love this little jacket! The increases for the yoke are hidden in or beside pattern panels and are practically invisible. Such a fun knit’.
The designer’s sample is worked in a yarn that is listed as worsted weight. The notes indicate this yarn was more on the side of DK weight, and as all my worsted stash is quite lofty, I chose a thicker DK yarn (Totem) and managed to achieve the stated stitch gauge but row gauge was slightly out. This didn’t impact the project as we can allow for length by adding rows to achieve the stated measurements.
