Esther Jacket

You can knit with two strands of 60 Garner Nord's own yarns or in the yarn Blåne.

Esther Jacket is knitted from top to bottom with structured knitting. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. Next, the shoulder parts are knitted based on the stitches picked up at the top of the back piece. The torso is knitted back and forth. The sleeves are knitted in the round on a circular needle based on the stitches picked up in the armhole. Finally, button placket and an elastic edge are knitted at the neck. 

Make a sample to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength. You can make random samples according to diagrams in knitting patterns.

Size guide

Esther Jacket should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 24 cm in the smallest sizes, but progressively smaller in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110 -120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of the body), you should knit a size S. A cardigan in size S has an overall width of 114 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 24 cm.
