Linen Stitch Sweater Pattern
An elegant classic for work or play, this jacket with three-quarter length sleeves and simple lines is perfect for any setting.
Everyday Elegance Jacket - Skill Builder
This beautiful fabric is created with three different yarns, a luscious hand dyed multi and two coordinating solids. Made in a DK weight yarn, this jacket is perfect for the transitional seasons and air conditioned buildings. An original design by Gwen Bortner, leave open or secure close with a fabulous brooch or shawl pin.
The combination of the simple linen stitch pattern paired with alternating rows of three different colored yarns creates this beautiful and unique fabric. This simple technique maximizes the beauty of the hand-dyed yarn by diminishing its natural tendency to stripe or create pools of color. Although you will need to know the basics, this elegant jacket is within reach of the newer knitter.
