SPECIAL TERM
Wrap and Turn (wrp-t)
(WS rows) Yarn back (to the knit position), slip next st to RH needle, yarn forward (to the purl position), return slipped st, (which is now wrapped), to LH needle; turn, leaving rem sts unworked.
(RS rows) Yarn forward (to the purl position), slip next st to RH needle, yarn back (to the knit position), return slipped st, (which is now wrapped), to LH needle; turn, leaving rem sts unworked.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUE
Short Row Shaping
Work the number of sts indicated in the instructions, wrp-t. Return to starting point.
Continue to work progressively longer rows as indicated in the instructions; work wraps together with wrapped sts as you come to them, as follows:
Insert the RH needle into wrap at base of wrapped st from beneath, then bring RH needle up and into st on LH needle ready to work the st; knit (or purl) wrap and st together—this prevents a hole from forming where Short Row ended.
Hint: If it's difficult to work wrap and st tog as given above, slip wrapped st to RH needle, insert LH needle into wrap (from bottom to top), place wrap on LH needle, return wrapped st to LH needle and knit (or purl) wrap and wrapped st together.

SHAPE SHOULDER/NECK EDGE
Note: This shaping is to bring the inner edge of front band up to the level of the garment front, to compensate for the fact that at this point the trim band is being worked at an angle from the previous short rows – it is worked in the opposite direction from normal shoulder shaping.

(RS) Knit 3, wrp-t. (RS) Purl across.
(RS) Knit 6, wrp-t. (RS) Purl across.

RIGHT FRONT – CC trim
Work as for left front trim, reversing all shaping.
FINISHING
Block pieces to measurements. Sew shoulder seams, matching center front edge to marker on back CC trim. Set in sleeves; sew sleeve and side seams.
CORD TRIM
Measure around seams between garment pieces and CC trim; add 1 – 2 inches to this measurement – it's easier to unravel a few rows then to try to make a too short piece longer. Using Embellish-Knit! Automatic spool knitter and CCA, work 2 pieces of cord the width of the sleeves, (one for each sleeve), and 1 piece of cord to fit around back and fronts of jacket (see photo). Using sewing needle and matching thread, neatly tack cording over seams between garment pieces and trim. Adjust final length and neatly joins ends of cord. Using tn, weave in all ends.

Using crochet hook, * insert hook from WS to RS into first st at corner of one short end of scarf, pull through loop [fold of strands], insert ends into loop and pull tight against edge; repeat from *, attaching 5 fringes to each short end of scarf.
