Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Winter 2005: “A classic tartan jacket in not-so-classic colors, feels as much at home with a pair of jeans as it does with a pleated skirt. The cashmerino yarn has a silky feel, and its subtle bouclé texture adds interest. A tidy shawl collar, a bit of waist shaping, and strong mother-of-pearl buttons are all the details this jacket needs to be just perfect.”
