Notes:

1. Jacket is worked by creating a flat back (rows) and remaining body is worked in rounds, around back.
2. All rounds are worked in a spiral method, so insert stitch markers in first st of each round, to keep an accurate row end location and count.
3. Sleeves are worked directly on to body, in rounds, insert stitch marker in first st of each round to keep an accurate row end location and count.
4. Adjust sleeve length by doing more or fewer repeats of Round 50.
