PATTERN NOTES The jacket is made in five panels (left and right front, back and two sleeves). All are worked from the side using htr blo with yarn A and yarns B–I held together. The colour change is achieved using intarsia and when the yarn B–I sections finish, yarn A is worked together with the next colour. Complete the last stitch of each block with the next colour and fasten off the yarn when the block is complete. The front and back are joined at the shoulders, the sleeves are joined and then the sides are joined. A neck and front panel is worked separately and joined.
