The Videy Jacket is worked from the bottom up in slip stitch pattern. It is a technique where you only use one colour at a time, slipping some of the stitches from one needle to the other without working them. Body and sleeves are worked separately, then the sections are joined and the yoke is shaped with raglan decreases. Neck and front edges are then worked, hiding the selvedge by knitting up stitches on 2 separate needles, one on the RS and one at the WS.
