Miss Michelle’s Jacket Knitting Pattern Download

Description

Blue and camel set each other off when a stark value contrast is brought into play. The blue has about as much black in it as the camel has white, bringing the allover twill chevrons of Miss Michelle’s Jacket into balance. The darker collar and cuffs are actually the same value as the dark blue, keeping them from overwhelming a sleek, vintage-inspired shape.
