Grey Days by Pamela Covert

Inspired by the swing silhouettes seen on many of the runways this season, I designed this hip length trapeze jacket with three-quarter length bell sleeves.

It uses a simple slip stitch pattern to create a dramatic fabric with two coordinating colors. The yarn is doubled throughout making the design both quick to knit and insulating to wear.

Worked in a grey on grey color scheme you'll create a classic to wear for many seasons.
