Knitting lends itself well to metaphors. From the slow progress of individual stitches joining together into a beautiful, large piece of fabric to the subsequent rows building up and depending on the rows before, the act of knitting is comparable to many incremental tasks. The physical manifestation of love each project represents can also be a metaphor.

The Metaphorical Jacket is made from three simple pieces: a big rectangle for the back and two rectangles with V-neck shaping for the front. It is a perfect example of how expressive simple shapes and patterns can become in the hands of a knitter.

The lace pattern is both charted and written out.
