Elliot's Fall Jacket
Discover the perfect beginner knitting project with this stylish jacket pattern, designed to be knitted bottom-up in the round. The body and sleeves are seamlessly joined together, followed by a raglan shaping technique that creates a beautifully fitted yoke. Finish off the look with a cozy hood, which is knitted back and forth in garter stitch for added texture and warmth.
The innovative design includes button bands that are expertly knitted directly onto the jacket, serving dual purposes by also creating a clean edge for the hood. This multifaceted approach not only simplifies the knitting process but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the jacket.
Once you've completed the button bands, it’s time to cut open the jacket to reveal the beautiful steeking technique. For successful steeking, be sure to use pure wool yarn, as it provides the necessary stability. If you choose to work with other fibers, please note that alternative methods for steeking are required to ensure durability and finish.
This jacket pattern, knitted in 100% wool, makes for an excellent first steeking project, offering you the chance to master this unique technique while crafting a functional and fashionable garment. Perfect for knitters eager to enhance their skills, this project balances practicality with style, resulting in a jacket you'll be proud to show off!
