Debbie Bliss Jacket With Moss Stitch Bands
Pattern: Jacket With Moss Stitch Bands from baby knits for beginners by Debbie Bliss. Flower from Rowan Junior.
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Wool Cotton in colour 125600 (dusky pink)
Needles: 3mm & 3.25mm Addi turbos

This has been done for a while, but first it had to wait for a flower and then for a day with enough light to get a photograph. I am really pleased with how it has turned out, I just hope it fits.

I made a few modifications:

1) I widened the wrists substantially and tapered the rest of the arms less as a result. I also made the arm hole just a few stitches wider than the pattern called for.
2) I used short rows for the neckline shaping
3) I left all the shoulder stitches live and grafted them together

I really like simple moss stitch trimmed cardigans in nice yarn, but next time I make one I think I am going to try doing it as a top down raglan all in one piece.
