The Balloon Jacket is a button-less oversized cardigan with big balloon sleeves. The Balloon Jacket is worked bottom up in garter stitch with rib edges. The body and the sleeves are worked separately and seamed together in the end. Lastly, stitches are picked up at the front sides and neck to build the continuous front bands and collar in rib st.
Bear in mind that the Balloon Jacket will grow in length with wear.
