This broad-bodied and cropped modular knitted jacket, with or without side vents, can be made with garter-stitch cap sleeves or three-quarter length sleeves with garter-stitch edging. Most of the squares are joined as you go; a few require short seams. Three beautiful buttons and a narrow, crocheted button band with button loops, plus a garter-stitch border around the bottom, complete the piece. The bottom can be extended as desired to lengthen the jacket. But another layer of squares requires another 100 grams of yarn.
