Emily jacket
Emily jacket
The Emily jacket is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The jacket has a classic straight fit and minimalistic details. The body and sleeves are knitted using boucle yarn, which gives the jacket a dense and fluffy look. The sleeves have short-row shaping at the top, making them look like set-in sleeves although they are knitted seamlessly in the round. The buttonbands are worked as an i-cord using matching DK weight yarn.
