NOTES
1. Body of the jacket is worked from side-to-side in one piece. Work begins at the right front, then proceeds across the back and to the left front.
2. Sleeves of the jacket are worked separately and joined to armholes while working the last row of each sleeve. Sleeves are worked vertically from sleeve seam to sleeve seam.
3. To achieve a smaller size or a size between those given, consider using a smaller hook. If you choose to use a smaller hook, be sure to check your gauge carefully to ensure the desired fit.
