// Denne strikkeopskrift er på engelsk // This knitting pattern is in English //
A classic and beautiful jacket worked top-down with saddle shoulders. The jacket features many small, delicate details and is both fun and challenging to knit. It is thick, warm, and has a certain weight to it. The fit is oversized and roomy, making it perfect for layering over a warm sweater on cold days. The pattern includes two optional pocket placements, or the jacket can be made without pockets.
