Carla Jacket Knitting Pattern

Carla Jacket is a casual, open fronted jacket with comfortable pockets. The body of the jacket is knitted all in one with pockets and front bands knitted as you go. The subtle slip stitches add interest whilst knitting and a sophisticated finish to the garment. The recommended yarn for Carla is John Arbon Knit By Numbers DK. The yarn creates a thick and cosy fabric making this the ideal garment to wrap up in on cold winter months!
