VERSACIKNITS Fisherman's Rib Jacket PDF

Influenced by both a 1950’s loose empire collar and a classic fisherman’s sweater, I initially designed this sweater in a loose, tweed yarn to be worn with a skirt to work. When I was finished, I realized that it would make an even nicer jacket to wear in lieu of a coat in cool weather. I especially like it when I am out on errands or going to back-to-back meetings and taking on and off a big coat just seems like too much.
