About The BOMBER dot COM The design of the jacket is inspired by a bomber jacket, giving it a modern and stylish look. This knit pattern is perfect for those who want to create a super cozy jacket for the colder months. The Bomber Dot Com Jacket is worked from the bottom up, beginning at the hem. The body stitches are placed on hold while the pockets are worked, then the body is joined and worked up to the underarm. Stitches are placed on hold again to shape the fronts and work the back. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, before working in double stockinette for the cuffs.
