Venecia Jacket

Venecia is a seamless jacket worked flat top-down with a round neck (crew) and raglan sleeves. A series of short rows are worked to raise the neck at the back, and these come around to the front to keep the neck rounded rather than looking straight as happens in the majority of designs with this type of sleeves. Body and sleeves are separated at the underarm and then the body is worked down to the hem. A few centimetres before the desired length, we begin to work a texture that combines cables and lace, which is reminiscent of the arches of the cathedral of San Marcos in Venice, from which this jacket takes its name. Then the sleeves that were left on hold are worked in reverse stockinette stitch.
