November Jacket - Paper

November Jacket is knitted from the top down in English rib. First, a piece of double rib is knitted that will sit at the neck and hang together with the front edges. Then, stitches are picked up in this piece, and from this, the back piece is knitted. Then, the right shoulder and left shoulder are knitted. These three parts are gathered to form the body, which is knitted back and forth in English rib with front edges in double rib. Stitches are picked up in the armhole, and from these stitches, the sleeves are knitted. The pockets are also knitted in English rib and sewn on at the end.
