Banyan Jacket Knitting Pattern Download

Description

A sweater coat flatters with a long silhouette and basic tailoring; a dramatic collar and cuffs frame an otherwise simple garment. Set-in sleeves reduce bulk at the shoulder and upper arm, drawing attention to the wearer’s face. Made in a classic charcoal, this sweater coat dresses up or down and goes with everything.
