If you can knit a square or rectangle, you can make all of these jackets!
Easy Turtleback Jackets
All the stitches are rated easy. Most jackets use a bulky weight yarn and US size 17 and 10 1/2 needles, so they are quick to knit. The first step is to knit a square or a rectangle in the dimensions given. Then the piece is folded and sewn at the sides. The result is a very comfortable and loose-fitting jacket that is just right for any occasion. All the designs use a rib stitch which give each jacket a flexible fit. These pop-on garments will quickly become your favorites!
