COCO!

She's FINALLY FINISHED! Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Coco, my Chanel jacket, knit in 100% cashmere (in colourway #29 on The List).

I made a LOT of alterations to a Jean Frost jackets pattern and added the fringe (because I've discovered that I must be a glutton for punishment). Here's a pocket and placket detail.

And a little close-up of the collar.


I'm tempted to try my hand at lining her... but after all this work, I'm not that tempted. :P Besides, if you had been knitting this would you want anything to come between you and all that gorgeous cashmere?
