When you are out and about on a practical expedition, you need a soft and cosy cover-up to keep you warm.

Here we have simplicity and elegance in an easy to wear jacket with an integral scarf. Quick to knit on 6mm needles in Stylecraft Alpaca Tweed Chunky, a tweedy combination of alpaca, acrylic and viscose.

The illustration shows Duck Egg Blue, but the edge to edge jacket would look just as good in one of the other muted, heathery shades.

Instructions are to fit bust 76/81cm -117/122cm (30/32 – 46/48")

To complete your jacket you will need 6mm (US10) and stitch holders.
