Perrault

By Susan Crawford

This beautiful wintery jacket is knitted in 4ply wool for warmth. The body is knitted in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms where the fronts and back are then divided. The sleeves are slightly gathered to allow room for another garment to be worn underneath and the jacket is fastened with an open ended zip. The hood is extremely flattering as it gently curves back to frame the face. A combination of charted and written instructions are provided along with comprehensive finishing instructions.
