This jacket is a combination of two different patterns, I used a hooded zip cardigan pattern from Vogue Knitting's Very Easy Knits book as my base and then I used a pattern from Viking Patterns for Knitting by Elsebeth Lavold, in which she called it Narrow Panel with Little Lattice for the cables flanking the cardigan on both sides of the zipper, it also has a large hood that is not show in the picture.
I had been working on this project when I was pregnant with my son, and then put it aside for a long time after he was born, and had stepped away from any knitting projects. I was almost afraid to go back to it, as I wasn't sure exactly where I was, and if I could even pick up the complex cable pattern in the right place, but then I finally faced my fears, delved back in and finished the jacket and was back on the horse.

Good For you..Taking care of a baby is so time consuming (IM told) so im sure its common that hobbies are set aside..But you really have a gift and I'm glad you decided to swing your leg over that saddle again :)

Sweaters are time consuming but you just have to follow your increases and decreases and make sure to take care when sewing it all together and making it all match. Good luck!
