This is a very exciting pattern for me. As it is my first garment, and I adore it. A customisable-length, super cosy jacket with colour blocking and short row shaping.
The pattern is worked with three colours, though more could be added – maybe a contrast trim? And worked from the top down. Sleeves are worked with short row caps for a neat fit. And barring a little seaming at the shoulders, the whole thing is knitted as one piece.
The gray / green combination above is worked in Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky in the Light and Dark Gray Heather, and Lime colour ways. The version shown below uses Knit Picks Brava Bulky in Seraphim, Mulberry and Peacock.
This pattern and the rest from the Holla Knits Winter 2015 collection can be found here.

Interesting construction; that’s a lot of weight being held up by just shoulder seams!
I love that you show your pattern in two different yarns. I have been wanting to try Knitpicks Brava yarn and this looks like the perfect pattern for it. It also looks wonderfully cozy.
I love this design! It looks perfect for between season wear.
That looks great! I’d make it a little shorter for myself and the colours…hm….shush, my brain is working, do not disturb! 🙂
I love your sweater! It looks so cozy.

love the sweater!
I love the design. There’s a color combo perfect for it tickling at the back of my brain, I just haven’t figured out what it is yet…
A lovely sweater! I would need to make it shorter!
What a fun looking sweater! Thanks for the chance to win (asimplehomestd on Ravelry)
