The use of different increases & a kitchener bind off being the most difficult parts of this jacket would make me rate it for the intermediate knitter.

What was your inspiration?

My girls.

What are you most proud of?

I like the contrasting color piping around the collar with the hand made buttons.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Even though you could bind off the ribbing with a regular bind off, if you don't know the kitchener bind off it's worth learning for the polished finish it gives the garment.
