ALPACA BOUCLE KIMONO JACKET & Purse

This jacket is an easy shape to wear and knit; just stockinette and seed stitch. What makes it fabulous is the simple kimono style with waist shaping, the smooth, short-row construction method for the sleeves and the wonderful Alpaca Boucle yarn from Plymouth Yarns.

The pattern is in 3 sizes and has 2 versions: a 3-color, fun-to-wear striped version and a 2-color, elegant solid version. Closures are black oriental frogs for the striped version and beautiful beaded glass buttons for the solid version, both from JHB.

The purse comes in 2 sizes. Make it for yourself or as quick-to-knit gifts!
