Bell Jacket
Introducing the stunning Canterbury Bells Stitch Pattern, designed specifically for crafting an elegant straight jacket with a flattering v-neck shape and short sleeves. This unique piece features a mesmerizing stitch pattern that celebrates the beauty of the Canterbury Bells, achieved by casting on a number of extra stitches and subsequently decreasing them to replicate the bell shapes with their charming voluminous shadows. This innovative technique ensures that the stitch pattern remains stretchy and is knitted loosely, resulting in a captivating sculptural effect that will elevate your wardrobe. The wide front band in stockinette stitch is designed to frame the fronts beautifully and is intentionally crafted to hang loosely for a relaxed yet stylish look.
The Bell Jacket is expertly knitted using the luxurious Tencel 8/2 yarn from Valley Yarns, a silky soft fiber made from 100% Lyocell. The captivating design utilizes two colors to create a stunning melange effect, with one strand of each color held together throughout the project. For the sample, we chose the rich hues of Sienna and Pompeii, creating a beautiful visual contrast. If you prefer a single color option, you’ll need approximately 3152 (3450, 3760, or 4058) meters of yarn, depending on your size.
