When I gifted the first of this original Wassily01 Boxy Japanese Jacket to my friend last year as a belated birthday present, it was too small for her. So this year, I have used exactly the same pattern but with different yarns and hook sizes to create this Extra Large and roomy Japanese Boxy Jacket. I hope this time, we have a successful fit.

Brief Summary of Changes
What follows is only a brief summary; more to remind myself than anything else. Please refer to the original Wassily01 Japanese Boxy Jacket blog for full photos and steps.
I followed the graph and pattern as per Wassily01 Boxy jacket.
To make this bigger XL size, I worked the stated 2 yarns weights together for each colour.
I used a larger hook (4mm instead of 3mm) for most of the body.
As you can see, I changed the colours.
