Rowan 10 also gives a variant 5-button jacket with v-neck and vaguely shawl collar; jacket variation not in Kaffe’s Classics.

Thinner yarns are worked double or triple to match the DK thickness.

“The finer yarns are used in combination i.e. AA means use 2 strands of yarn A, NT means use 1 strand of N and one strand of T, PPP means use 3 strand of yarn P.”

“Use separate lengths of yarn for each area of contrast colour. Link one colour to the next by twisting them around each other where they meet on the WS to avoid gaps.”
