The pattern is very clever. As gwensews points out in the comments (I love comments!) the jacket starts out as a shrug, with the sleeves and back knit in one piece, then the top and bottom pieces are knitted on, each having a different shape as collar or jacket base.
The pattern is from this book, Knit 7 by Jo Sharp. It is readily available at Australian newsagents and knitting shops ($Aus 18.95) and the pattern is also available in a kit, in two colourways, neither of which are the same as mine. If anyone wants the pattern or a kit I would be happy to act as an enabler. Lovely people in the USA have certainly posted me enough hard-to-find patterns and notions.

Ok, that's it! I'm buying this issue from the newsagent tomorrow and visiting the wool shop. I'm on hols and need a good knitting project. I LOVE yours so much!! Thanks for sharing.
Just got back from my Easter trip -so I'm a little late saying thank you for posting this. It's really an amazing, awesome jacket!
You would not believe the trouble I am having finding a copy of that book here! Argh!!!!
Thanks! There are two newsagents I want to check out tomorrow, if I still can't find it then I'll let you know. :-)
