Shawl-Collared Jacket

Hopefully, Peanut won't mind modeling this sweater for us so we can see what it really looks like.

Pattern: Shawl-Collared Jacket

Yarn: Knitpicks Shine worsted, Crocus

The collar is thick and comes up high in the back and is folded over. This was worked in a series of short rows.

Aren't these buttons cute? I liked them cause they allowed me to punch out the middle and matched it up with the petals to create the color combinations that I wanted. I wasn't too sure about using buttons that have bumpy edges since they may snag in the yarn but they were too cute to pass up. Hopefully they'll be ok.
