Jenny Jacket V-Neck - PetiteKnit knitting pattern

The Jenny Jacket V-neck is worked from top to bottom in smocking. First, the back is worked in rows, and short rows create the shoulder slant. Then, stitches are cast on at the top of the back for the shoulders. The body is worked in rows on circular needles. The sleeves are knitted in the round in smocking. Finally, stitches are cast on along the front edges for the bands, which are worked in double knit.

Before you start knitting, make a gauge swatch to determine the right needle size for you. Wash the swatch before measuring from it.
