Front: A shoulder yoke, then a front yoke with a horizontal seam across the chest, above the main front piece.

Sleeves: One-piece set-in sleeves finished with rib-knit cuffs.

Back: One piece cut on the fold below a back yoke, which is joined to the shoulder yokes.

Waist: Rib-knit waistband cut on the fold, folded lengthwise and slightly stretched as it is sewn on; the front is topstitched to the facing along the waistband seam.

Finishing: Seams overlocked and pressed towards the yokes.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Several yoke seams to match, a notched collar between jacket and facing, and rib bands stretched onto the body and sleeves.
