Warm and sporty, this zip-front jacket follows the general instructions for a saddle-shoulder cardigan in The Knitter’s Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters, but it’s been tweaked to accommodate a gauge of 6.25 stitches/inch and a 4-stitch pattern multiple. A fold-over collar is added to the crewneck shaping, and attached I-cord is worked all the edges for a clean finish. Don’t let the zipper intimidate you--it’s quite easy to insert!
