Jenny Jacket V-neck - PetiteKnit

You can advantageously knit with 1 strand of merino together with 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair from our Knitting for Olive.

The Jenny Jacket V-neck is knitted top-down in smock stitch. First, the back is knitted back and forth with short rows to shape a shoulder slope. Then stitches are picked up along the top of the back piece from which the shoulders are knitted. The body is knitted back and forth on circular needles and the sleeves are knitted in the round in smock stitch. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges where a double-knit button band is knitted.

Make a gauge swatch before you start knitting to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. Wash the swatch before measuring the gauge.

Size guide

The Jenny Jacket V-neck should have a positive ease of about 15-20 cm in sizes XS to L, about 13-18 cm in sizes XL and 2XL, and about 5-10 cm in sizes 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on the 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 cardigan 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 cardigan in size S has a chest width of 107 cm and in the mentioned example will give a positive ease of 17 cm.
