Cyrene Tailored Jacket Knitting Pattern

Cyrene is a beautifully fitted, tailored jacket which can be worn with the collar turned up (as on the image) or laying flat in a more traditional way and the lapels are created within the front and stand out by using distinctive stitch pattern.  The body is knitted in one piece meaning there is so little to sew up.

Knitting Techniques include:
k2tog- knit 2 together
M1 - knit into bar between sts to create new st
p2tog - purl 2 together
ssk - slip 1 knitwise, slip 1 knitwise, knit slipped sts together through back of loop
sskpo - slip 2 sts knitwise together, knit 1, pass slipped sts over.
WT - slip the next stitch, bring yarn to front, slip stitch back, turn work.
