A versatile jacket that can be worn buttoned or zipped like a Bomber jacket all the way to the top of the collar. The simple slip stitch colorwork uses only one color per row so there’s no hassle with floats and every other row is a “resting” row. And there is no steeking!
The easy Mosaic colorwork technique makes for a dramatic yoke with a bit of heft to it…perfect for a jacket! A tiny bit of colour echoes the design at the cuffs and hemline to pull it all together. Deep and wide ribbing at the hem and cuffs is mirrored by the strong collar. The sweater jacket is worked top down, flat and seamless with a stockinette body and sleeves framed by wide bands of ribbing.
Strongly contrasting colors are advised for the most dramatic effect in the yoke. This is a great opportunity to use a mini-skein set of gradient colors for the yoke colorwork. Subtle transition between gradient colours is important. For the sample, two strands of fingering gradient were held double and colours were transitioned one strand at a time for the most subtle effect.
Wear this cardigan to dress up a pair of jeans for a casual look or with slacks or a skirt to the office.
Make several in different colour combinations and be ready for Columbia River to become your “go to” sweater jacket!
