GETTING STARTED The jacket is knitted in garter stitch, with a slip stitch selvedge. The first stitch of every row is slipped purl wise, with yarn in front. Then the yarn is moved to the back and you knit across the remainder of the row.

You may wish to use two balls of yarn at a time, to prevent any particular colour appearing in a block. WORKING PATTERN LEFT BACK Cast on 3 sts. Row 1: Sl 1, M1, K to end of row.…
