Drops 114-9 Black Jacket


It is finished, I am really happy with the way it turned out. The fit is perfect and I love the cables. I also learned several construction tips in the process.
Here is the link to the pattern: Drops 114-9. The only change I made was the yarn, I used Cascade 220 wool. Needles US 6 for the ribbing and 7 for the body. Used a cable needle!

Very elegant, Laritza. You finished this so quickly that maybe you should knit two or three more in different colors!

It took longer to sew it together than to knit it :) If you noticed, I even got the buttons on! I did so as well with Cassidy. Now on That Green Sweater and CC.

I love your sweater!

I don't like sewing. I'm so spoiled by fair isle. :)
