This top-down zippered jacket is knit in one piece and combines contrasting colors for maximum visual impact. Brioche ribbing accents incorporate the two colors, and raglan shaping flatters most body types. This twist on a classic is a perfect candidate for layering and conveys a casual feel whether you choose to finish it with a collar or hood. Skill level is Intermediate.
