A
knitted lightweight piece for all seasons – whether worn over or under something – simple, with an eye-catching collar area. Both patterns used are very easy (only knit and purl stitches). The collar shaping requires a bit of care, so difficulty level: medium.
Unlike the “Margit” model, the sleeves are knitted with a sleeve cap. The length is variable.
The
illustrated pattern with stitch- and row-by-row instructions is based on a gauge of approx. 14.5 sts = approx. 10 cm with size 6.0 knitting needles. Because of the jacket’s casual shape and stretch, one stitch more or less is not especially critical. If your gauge differs more significantly, please choose larger or smaller knitting needles. The pattern does not include a knitting course, but it does contain relevant link tips.
