The Grey sheep jacket is a short-length knit with 3/4 big balloon sleeves. The jacket has one snap fastener in the neckline and the rest of the front band is buttonless. It is worked top-down. Sleeves and the body are worked in Fisherman rib stitch. Sleeves are without cuffs and the body is without hem. Because the cardigan body and sleeves are worked straight it can be easily made longer and of course, more yarns should be estimated. Grey sheep jacket is a short fashionable cardigan that fits well with high waist jeans or shorts.
