I am delighted to release the Autumn Symphony pattern after the test knit has been completed, with so many beautiful versions.  The cover pictures are taken by Familien’s in-house photographer Petter Berg. The Norwegian pattern will be published later this autumn. The English pattern has been released in my Ravelry Store with helpful video links, schematics and charts. Here is the essential pattern info: Leaves cover this A-lined jacket knitted in one piece with a false seam in a middle of the stocking stitch panel. The sleeves are knitted in the round with leaves up to the shaping where the lace pattern is changed to reverse stocking stitch. A belt in autumn coloured tweed lengthens the jacket and introduces the orange wrap. Or why not wear the wrap as a belt and opposite. Choose your three favorite colours, then make your outfit.
