Jenny Jacket V-neck - Paper
Jenny Jacket V-neck is worked top down in smocking. First, the back piece is worked back and forth, and short rows (reversing rows) are worked to create the shoulder slope. Then, sts are picked up at the top of the back piece and the shoulders are worked from here. The body is worked back and forth on circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round in smocking. Finally, sts are picked up along the front edges, and a double-knit button band is worked from these sts.
Knit a swatch before you start knitting to find the needle size that gives you the right gauge. Remember to wash the swatch before measuring the gauge.
Size guide
Jenny Jacket V-neck should have a positive ease of movement of approximately 15-20 cm in sizes XS to L, and approximately 13-18 cm in sizes XL and 2XL and 5-10 cm in sizes 3XL, 4XL and 5XL. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished jacket are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size S. A jacket in size S has a circumference of 107 cm, and in the above example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 17 cm.
