A
knitted lightweight piece for all seasons – whether worn over or underneath – simple, with a striking collar area. Both patterns used are absolutely easy (only knit and purl stitches). The collar design requires a bit of care, so the difficulty level is: medium. The length is variable.
The
illustrated pattern with stitch- and row-accurate 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 relaxed shape and stretchiness, one stitch more or less is not all that important. If there are larger gauge deviations, please choose larger or smaller knitting needles. The pattern does not include a knitting tutorial, but it does include relevant link tips.
