CABLED JACKET

Knit Simple Holiday 2011 #7
Design by Mari Lynn Patrick

Allover cables create a braided effect on this true-blue double-breasted jacket. The trim for the front bands and hemline is picked up and ribbed, then worked in stockinette to forma rolled edge. The distinctive collar is picked up along the neck edge and worked similarly to the trim, but is shaped instead with short rows.
