November Jacket - Paper
November Jacket is knitted from the top down in English rib. First, a piece of double rib is knitted that will sit at the neck and hang together with the front edges. Then, stitches are picked up in this piece, and from this, the back piece is knitted. Then, the right shoulder and left shoulder are knitted. These three parts are gathered to form the body, which is knitted back and forth in English rib with front edges in double rib. Stitches are picked up in the armhole, and from these stitches, the sleeves are knitted. The pockets are also knitted in English rib and sewn on at the end.
Size guide
November Jacket should have a positive ease of movement of approximately 20 cm. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a chest measurement of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. Measure yourself with a measuring tape before you start knitting, to assess which size will fit you best. Example: You measure yourself with a measuring tape around the chest (or stomach if that is the widest part of your upper body) to 94 cm. This corresponds to you knitting size M. A jacket in size M has a chest width of 115 cm and in the above example will give a positive ease of movement of 21 cm.
