Esther Jacket - PetiteKnit

Here beautiful Jensen yarn is knitted together with Highland Wool from Isager.

The Esther Jacket is knitted from the top down with textured knitting. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. Then the shoulder sections are knitted from stitches picked up along the top of the back piece. The body is knitted back and forth. The sleeves are knitted in the round on circular needles from stitches picked up at the armhole. Finally, button bands and a ribbed edge at the neckline are knitted.

Make a gauge swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. You can make swatches following the chart in the knitting pattern.

Size guide

The Esther Jacket should have a positive ease of about 24 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less 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 finished garment measurements are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S jacket has a finished chest width of 114 cm and will in this example give a positive ease of 24 cm.
