Gepard Hug Me Jacket
Gepard Hug Me Jacket is a delicious soft and light jacket knitted in Puno, perfect for the office or as a transitional jacket.
This jacket is worked in two mirrored halves, grafted or knitted together at center back. You will start with stockinette stitch at the elbow and work your way up towards the back neck. The narrow sleeves are worked separately and grafted onto the body. The extra long sleeves can be used for folded cuffs, for tucking in hands or just pushing up sleeves.

If working with Puno Spicy (the speckled version), you will have to alternate two balls of yarn. Work two rows with each ball, to reduce the "pooling" effect, just as when knitting with hand dyed yarns. If you start from the outside and the center on the same ball of yarn, you can work with one ball of Puno Spicy at the time
