Here we have an easy knit stocking stitch jacket in Night Sky and a jacket with basket weave pockets and sleeves in Marine. We love the contrast in textures achieved by using both stitch techniques in one garment. Both shades are peppered with flecks of neutral hues which gives added texture to the pieces. The stand-up collar could imitate notch lapels on a jacket giving it a smart style.

You will need: Pair of 3.25mm (UK 10 USA 3 ) knitting needles. Pair of 4mm (UK 8 USA 6) knitting needles. Stitch markers. 7 buttons, 2cm, ¾ in.
