The jacket is knitted from the top down in stocking stitch. The button placket is knitted double, and this is the start of the work. Then, stitches are picked up along the entire button placket, which is divided into the front and back piece and the shoulder stitches. Then, increases are made on both the right side and the wrong side, a total of 4 increases per round, around the 6 shoulder stitches. This means that increases are made before and after the shoulder stitches. The puff sleeves should also be increased. When the puff sleeves are finished, classic raglan is used as an increase. Finally, the body is finished with a folded edge. From beginning to end, the double folded button placket is knitted. The sleeves are finished with an i-cord edge.
The recipe is long, some people like to read the entire recipe before starting. Feel free to do so, but my biggest recommendation is to read this recipe paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentence, and voila, you're done.
