The Bomber Bouclé is a basic cardigan inspired by bomber jackets. It is knitted from the top down with raglan sleeves. It has a straight cut and side pockets. The button band is knitted at the same time as the rest of the body.
 The pattern was designed to showcase a bouclé yarn, but it can be knitted with any worsted weight yarn.
