The Jenny Jacket V-neck is worked from the top down in a knitted smock pattern. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth and short rows are worked to shape the slant of the shoulders. After this, stitches are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke to work the shoulders and then the fronts. The body is joined at the underarms and worked back and forth on a circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round in the smock pattern. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the front edges and a double knitted front packet is worked.
Begin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge. Remember to wash your swatch before measuring the gauge.
