The jackets in this section showcase special yarns beautifully with their straightforward knitting and interesting construction detail. Box Top- A boxy, easy fitting jacket in highly textured wool Tyrolean Jacket- Based on a traditional climber's jacket, this garment gets its name from the region of the Austrian Alps known as "Tyrol" Three Sisters- Named for the three basic stitch "sisters" used in the design, this jacket combines stockinette stitching, a cable panel, and garter stitch Seedling- This close-fitting cropped jacket is found in various cultures, worn when an extra touch of warmth or style is needed for the upper body Rachel's Jacket- Rachel Brown, master weaver and dyer in Taos, New Mexico, inspired this simple, textured jacket knit in hand-dyed yarn Cusco- Like traditional Andean garments made with alpaca yarn, this bolero-style jacket is soft, lightweight, and warm The Wrapper- The two-by-two ribbing of this jacket in brown tweed yarn is a fall classic II: Contrast- Light and dark, warm and cool, strong or subtle, the play of contrast defines pattern.

Here you will find jackets created with cables, knit-purl patterns, slip stitches, and even knitted lace. From the most traditional Aran cardigan to the Japanese-style hanten, texture gives knitting its "feel." Bloomsbury Jacket- Named for the Bloomsbury group of writers in London, this jacket is a tribute to their talent Puzzle Me This- The body of this cardigan is a combination garter and slip-stitch pattern that is complemented with one cable panel on the sleeve, saddle shoulder, and front band Edwardian Day Coat- Inspired by Edwardian influences when the Victorian era gave way, this loose-fitting knitted jacket echos the styles popular when clothing became comfortable Edo- The style of the knitted lace Edo is based on the traditionally simple Japanese hanten jacket Little Edo- A shortened version of the Edo, this simple pattern is more fitted, knit with fewer rows and smaller needles Ivory Leaves- The cropped structure of Ivory Leaves lends the air of a knitted lace shawl to a simple jacket Scholar's Jacket- Alternating columns of stockinette stitch and cables give this jacket a classic style reminiscent of the grand stone facade of a venerable library of museum Inish- Using only two cable patterns combined in a simple sequence, this jacket is inspired by Aran sweaters IV: Materials & Techniques
