September jacket - Paper
September Jacket is knitted from the top down in English rib in one thread Sunday and two threads Tynn Silk Mohair. First the back piece is knitted, then the right shoulder and left shoulder. These three parts are gathered to form the body which is knitted back and forth in English rib. The sleeves are knitted from the open stitches in the armhole. Finally, rib edges are knitted along the front edges of the jacket to form button posts, as well as a rib edge in the neck opening. The pockets are also knitted in English rib and sewn on at the end. The jacket closes at the front with large press studs.
Knit a swatch before you start, to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. Please note that the swatch should be washed and blocked before measuring the gauge. This is important, as English rib knit expands in the wash and with use.
Size guide
September Jacket should have a range of movement ( positive ease ) of approximately 5-8 cm. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL correspond to a chest measurement of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm. Measure yourself with a tape measure before you start knitting, to assess which size will fit you best.
