Despite the size/length, relatively quick to knit:

This comfortable, cozy
knitted piece in an oversized style weighs only approx. 275 g with the yarns used here, so it is feather-light. Both stitch patterns used are absolutely
simple. The collar design requires a little care, so the difficulty level is intermediate. Length as desired.
The model shown is knitted with double strand and US size 10 / 6.0 mm needles using 175 g KidSilk by Austermann
plus 100 g Merino Lace by Austermann.
Alternatively, you can choose yarns with a needle size suitable for the yarn that in
approx. match a gauge of 17 sts = approx. 10 cm with 6.0 mm knitting needles,
e.g. approx. 450 g Dolce Mohair (Mondial) - knitted with a single strand.
Additional yarn alternatives - also without mohair - are listed in the
pattern. Stitch markers are highly recommended.
The
illustrated PDF pattern with stitch- and row-by-row instructions is based on the gauge mentioned above. Because of the jacket’s relaxed shape and stretchiness, one stitch more or less is not very
critical. If there are larger gauge deviations, please choose a
larger or smaller knitting needle size. The pattern does
not include a knitting course, but does include helpful links.
