ASHLEY RAO HANDKNITS

A dramatic chevron texture echos and articulates the swingy trapeze silhouette of the Pan Am Jacket. A loosely scooped collar and mitered borders add architectural interest. Worked in one piece from the neck down, the Pan Am Jacket is finished with a picked-up deeply welted border with carefully mitered corners. A single visible button at the crossover neckline adds a focal point.
