Notes: This open-front jacket is worked in one piece seamlessly from the bottom up, with short rows that create a slight high-low hemline. After separating the piece at the armholes, the back and fronts are worked separately back and forth. The shoulders are joined using a three-needle cast-off. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole, then worked down in the round. The patch pocket is sewn onto the jacket after finishing and blocking.
