This modular jacket is composed of simple rectangles with very little shaping. The garter stitch and seed stitch sections are picked up and knit from previous shapes so there is very little seaming. The first section of the body is knit sideways until it comfortably wraps around your body. After establishing this first shape, the instructions guide you to knit a size that matches your body proportions. The sample features a variety of worsted and chunky yarns for a textured colorful fabric. Highlight each section of the jacket with contrasting colors or keep the color play as simple and neutral as you want. The collar, armhole, and length are also customizable to reflect your personal style.
