Spring is in the air. And stripes are totally on trend. With a top underneath this comfortable-to-wear
cotton short-sleeve jacket, you’ll be wonderfully dressed both at work and in your free time. And if it gets a bit cooler, a thin turtleneck can also be worn underneath.
The PDF pattern is illustrated across 23 pages.
These
knitting skills are needed:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knitting stitches together, yarn over, emphasized decreases and increases from the strand between stitches (explained with pictures). Difficulty level: medium
We need a total of approx. 450 g of Catania (Schachenmayr) or Limone (Schoeller+Stahl) for
sizes S to L, 100% mercerized cotton, label details: 50 g – 125 m yardage, needle size 2.5 – 3.5, 26 sts x 36 rows = 10 x 10 cm with the following color distribution:
- Blue 100 g
- White 100 g
- Dark green 150 g
- Light green 100 g
Depending on the size, more or fewer yarn remnants will be left over from each ball. I used here: knitting needle size 3.5, 3 stitch holders and 1 cable for holding stitches, stitch marker and row counter (not absolutely necessary), pins for blocking, measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends.
