Pattern available in French and English. 

The SIMPLY ME JACKET is a short garter stitch jacket, inspired by the classic blazer. It features a structured collar, raglan sleeves, and a box pleat in the back. Its feminine silhouette is slightly flared (A-line) with slightly shortened sleeves.

The jacket is knitted from the top down. The neckline is shaped with short rows, simultaneously with the raglan increases. The yoke and body are knitted flat with special selvedge stitches on the fronts. Three buttonholes are worked on the right front, and short rows are added at the bust for a better fit. The box pleat is sewn, buttons are attached, and stitches are picked up to knit the collar. The raglan sleeves are knitted in garter stitch in the round with short rows, and the edges are bound off with a reverse I-cord finish.
