A swingy jacket with pockets and a little collar makes a nice alternative to the traditional cardigan. Garter stitch in heathery Cheviot is just the right stitch for this piece, allowing soft heft and the perfect amount of drape—not too much, not too little. Windham would also look great in two colors, knitting a contrasting color as a strong border stripe, working down from the pocket row. Ditto on the sleeve!
