Pashmina & Silk Jacket Pattern

The Pashmina & Silk Jacket exudes a classic elegance.

Chic and stylish, this jacket also features deep cuffs, a doubled funnel-neck collar along with a belt. Knit in pieces while using a simple ribbed design, this jacket will keep you warm and stylish through the cooler seasons. Pattern from Knitting Simple Jackets.
