Textured Woven Jacket by Iris Bishop - This is another great Iris Bishop design for the standard gauge machine. Iris writes “this casual, textured jacket is designed in the ‘classic’ style. It is knitted ‘sideways’ featuring fancy knitweave borders and plain stocking stitch.” You will want to make the textured woven jacket right away. It is sized small through large and uses standard 4-ply yarn for the base fabric and heavier DK or Aran weight yarn for the weaving. The pattern uses includes a diagram to punch a 24 stitch punch card. Iris Bishop suggests using a sufficiently heavy weight of weaving yarn so that it really stands up from the knitted fabric to produce a rich textural fabric. The Textured Woven Jacket pattern can be knitted on an electronic machine as well. You can always depend on innovative techniques and wonderful results using any Iris Bishop pattern.
