Pattern description from Knit Simple, Fall 2006: “The basic tweed stitch of this easy-fit jacket juggles four different colors worked in a stripe pattern, with the headliner switching every two rows.”

Knit Tip: “It’s fun to pick buttons when you have so many color cues. Match one of the brighter tones to make the fasteners really stand out.”
