TRAPEZE JACKET

Noro Knitting Magazine Fall/Winter 2013 #23

Design by Galina Carroll

Carroll knit the body of her trapeze jacket in one piece using Noro Mossa colorway #11, starting from the lower back hem and continuing over each drop shoulder. The mid-length sleeves are picked up and knit. Snaps at the top create a double-breasted closure. The bright crocheted edgings, patch pockets and decorative button cover are worked in Debbie Bliss Blue Faced Leicester.
