A Jacket That Does Not Have a Name by Eri Shimizu is elegant, and modern. The silhouette with the high boat neckline and three-quarter sleeves is reminiscent of the classic twin sets of the 1930s and ’40s. The textured collar, paired with delightfully bouyant brioche stitch, gives the cardigan an updated look. This piece will quickly become a staple of any maker’s wardrobe, pairing easily with jeans or dresses, tiered skirts and blouses, or slacks and button-downs.
We recommend knitting this sweater in Kokon Bleu Organic Fingering Non-superwash, shown in the sample in Jean-Michel. The textured stitches will show off the delightful highs and lows of Kokon Bleu’s semi-solid dyes, but the tie-dye or speckled bases will shine through this pattern’s classic lines, and the yarn will steal the show!
Whether in the classic blue jean shades of Jean Michel, the aquatic O-Bleu, or the deep navy of Bleu, this sweater will help create a timeless piece perfect for any wardrobe.
