This is a lower hip length jacket knit using wool and alpaca. The bodice is knit with wool in Fair Isle stranded color work, and the A-line skirt is knit in stockinette stitch using alpaca. The construction is unusual in that the bodice is knit first, sewn together, then the sleeves are knit and sewn in. At this point, the lower edge of the bodice is picked up and the skirt is knit down to the hem. The length is easily adjusted this way. In addition, the hems of the sleeves and the skirt are knit with a portion of the Fair Isle design in the bodice. It is a good project for someone who would like to try some Fair Isle work, without committing to an entire sweater.

Main portion of sweater is knit in Andean Treasure; contrast is knit in Wool of the Andes sport
