It’s hard to believe this jacket is actually based on two squares! Sleeves are knit from cuff to cap; short rows shape the sleeve cap. Join the sleeves and work each half of the body out (shaping as you would a square shawl). Seam the back and continue working on what is now a rectangle. Linen-blend yarn gives body and drape.
