Jarrah is a tailored sleeveless Ziggurat with a generous shawl collar, deep comfortable pockets and superb keeping-you-warm-at-your-desk qualities. This is really the reason I knitted this – last winter was so cold and my studio has a distinct draft.

The pockets…they’re just FUN – and single layer. That is, there is no bulky pouch on the inside. They do require some Undisturbed Knitting Time in their setup. Of course, you can skip the pockets – but WHY WOULD YOU?!

There is also some (optional) waist and rear shaping in this overall relaxed fit.

• Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom, starting with the collar, ending with the sideways hem
• slanted pockets, knitted along with all the rest of it
• no seaming
• sideways hem

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases to underarm cast-on.
