A
lightweight knitted piece for all seasons – whether worn over or under – simple, with an eye-catching collar area. Both patterns used are absolutely easy (only knit and purl stitches). The collar design requires a little attention, so the
difficulty level is intermediate. Unlike the “Margit” model, the sleeves are knitted with a sleeve cap. The length is variable.
The
illustrated pattern, worked out stitch by stitch and row by row, is based on a gauge of approx. 14.5 sts = approx. 10 cm with size 6.0 knitting needles. Because of the jacket’s relaxed shape and stretchiness, one stitch more or less is not very significant. So it’s no problem if 14 or 15 sts equal approx. 10 cm. If there are larger gauge deviations, please choose a larger or smaller needle size.
The pattern does not include a knitting course, but it does include helpful link tips.
We need
225 g KidSilk by Austermann, color 40 Emerald, 75% kid mohair, 25% silk, information according to the yarn label: needles 3–4, 18 sts x 26 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm, hand wash, 25 g – 225 m yardage; alternative yarns: e.g. Kid-Seta (Schulana) or Kid Mohair or KidSilk (Adriafil) – the same quantity in each case for the total back length knitted here of approx. 71 cm. This material is knitted with two strands held together. When using other yarns, please pay attention to the gauge information on the yarn label: approx. 14 sts = approx. 10 cm with needle size 6.0. In that case, knit with a single strand and calculate approx. 100 g more yarn (because of the jacket length and collar) than recommended on the yarn label.
Used here: size 6.0 knitting needles, pins, measuring tape, yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, stitch marker, row counter if needed.
