This highly versatile jacket can be casual or dressy-it’s up to you!

The knit version of Melissa Leapman’s Penelope Jacket features a jewel neckline, front pockets, and sleeves with turn-back cuffs. She chose two Trendsetter Yarns for her design, which are held together throughout the piece and worked in an allover textured stitch. Bacopa is a viscose, cotton, and linen blend and Luna is a sequin trim yarn. The combination creates a new yarn, and the sequins add a bit of sparkle to the piece. Mix and match Bacopa and Luna for many design opportunities!
