K2.57  Gossamer Jacket to Knit

This light-as-a-feather, one piece, top-down jacket has a roll collar and gently gathered sleeve caps; sleeves are gathered at the wrist-length cuff.

The seed stitch band around the edge of the jacket is worked with the body of the garment and the hem is curved at the front with optional short rows, as are the sleeves at the shoulder. Without short rows this garment is easy.

Chest sizes given in inches and (metric).
