The hood is nice and

generous – ideal for

breezy spring days

It’s in the detail

The pockets on this jacket are as

simple as they come, worked in

stocking stitch with a 1 st garter

stitch border. They are sewn on

to the garment at the end – make

sure you block your pockets and

carefully pin them in place before

sewing. If you prefer, you could

leave them off for a simpler look.
