This fitted little sweater jacket is knit with some of the bulkiest yarn available. Inspired by vintage mod fashion from the 1960s, it features an oversized collar that can be worn up or down. The double moss stitch pattern gives it a tweedy, woven look, while the ribbed section at the waist adds flattering shape. The jacket knits up quickly thanks to the super bulky yarn and large needles, making it perfect for a last-minute gift or a cozy winter project.
