Tierney

This unusual wrap jacket has a vintage feel, and can be knitted in one pieces with either short or long sleeves. It is double-breasted, with buttons fastening both the outer and under fronts, and is shaped with the clever use of short-row shaping. The ribbed texture is achieved by the use of a simple reverse stocking stitch.

Yarn:

The jacket was knitted using Erika Knight British Blue 100, a beautifully soft double-knitting Blue-face Leicester wool.
