Jenny Jacket V- neck

You can advantageously knit with 1 thread of merino together with 1 thread of Soft Silk Mohair from our  Knitting for Olive.

Jenny Jacket V-neck is knitted from top to bottom in smock knitting. First, the back is knitted back and forth and where shortened rounds are knitted to form a shoulder slope. Next, sts are picked up at the top of the back piece from where the shoulders are knitted. The body is knitted back and forth on a circular needle and the sleeves are knitted in the round in smock knitting. Finally, sts are picked up along the front edges where a double-knit button placket is knitted. 

Do a swatch before you start knitting to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength. Wash the sample before measuring the stickiness.
