November Jacket

The November Jacket is knitted from top to bottom in stockinette stitch. First knit a piece of double crochet. that must sit in the neck and hang together with the front edges. Next, pick up stitches in this piece. and from here the back piece is knitted. Then knit the right shoulder and left shoulder. These three parts come together to form the body. which is knitted back and forth in patent with front edges in double stitch. Stitches are picked up in the armhole. and from these stitches the sleeves are knitted. The pockets are also knitted in patent and sewn on at the end.
