PATCHWORK JACKET

NORO Magazine Fall 2012 #27
Design by Galina Carroll

The patchwork effect on Galina Carroll’s relaxed jacket comes from working intarsia stripes in a pair of Noro yarns—the adobe like Hitsuji #5 and the gemstone-inflected Karuta #3. Because the front pieces are the same size, the garment sports a large overlap emphasized by oversized buttons that decoratively cover functional snaps.
