Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2007: “Mari Lynn Patrick’s multidirectional lace jacket in Reynolds/JCA’s ‘Saucy Sport’ is elegant intricacy incarnate. The fronts are knit on the bias, starting at the side-seam corners; the back, straight up with the center pattern shifting in and out; the sleeves, in a repeat of one of the body’s smaller lace patterns. A last touch of class: ribbon woven through the edges.”
