Revel in bold, captivating colors, intriguing textures, and embroidery with the Suzani Jacket! Knit in two colors, the embroidery is the finishing touch that sets this jacket apart. Both Suzani-inspired motifs and additional colors are embroidered on at the end and are applied to the jacket as duplicate stitch, crochet chain embroidery, back stitch and satin stitch.

Each sleeve is knit in the round separately then joined at the cap with steeks and features an embroidered floral panel at the wrist. The body of the jacket is worked flat to begin with then joined in the round with a steek. Finally, an applied I-cord border follows the entire outer edge of the jacket to give a neat, polished look. The unique textured details and intricate motifs of this jacket will have you looking at colorwork in a whole new light! Available in two dramatic colors, the Suzani Jacket is just the thing to brighten up a chilly day.
