The Drift Jacket combines an oversized cropped shape with chunky cables to create an extra warm and cosy winter knit. The high-ribbed neck can be folded down as a collar or buttoned around the neck. The jacket is knitted flat from the bottom up using structured 1x1 ribs and an all-over irregular cable stitch.

 

This pattern provides easy to follow detailed instructions using the following techniques: 

Long tail cast on, knit, purl, 1x1 rib stitch, slip stitch, increasing, decreasing, cabling, using a cable needle, reading charts, cast off, cast off in ribbing, picking up stitches and invisible seaming.
