The City Trip Jacket is seamlessly knit from the top down in one cohesive piece, making it a joy for knitters of all skill levels.

This cardigan is perfect for any yarn that meets the gauge of 20 stitches and 26 rows over 10cm/4". When selecting your yarn, note that the recommended yardage is approximately 95-100 meters (or 100-110 yards) per 50 grams. For a lovely visual effect, I used two thin strands of fingering weight yarn held together, resulting in a subtle color play. Depending on your size, you will need between 950 and 1500 meters (or 990 to 1750 yards) of yarn to complete this project, with the consumption varying by size: 950-1050-1200-1270-1390-1500m.

With its cozy length and charming shawl collar, the City Trip Jacket is not only practical but also a stylish addition to any casual outfit. It promises to be your go-to layering piece for city exploration or cuddling up when the temperatures drop. Start your knitting journey today with this delightful and functional pattern!
