Novus Jacket

The Novus Jacket was inspired by the construction of the sweaters in the Novus Collection. I wanted a winter weight jacket that would keep me WARM and that I could wear open or closed! The jacket is worked from the sleeve towards the center in two halves and then joined together by back and sleeve panels. It is easy to adjust! Add length to the jacket when you cast on for the body and add width by working more rows at the collar. Tutorials are included (of course!)

There will be an on going KAL in my Ravelry group... check it out and ask questions, we are happy to help you knit the Novus Jacket!!!
