Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this quick project is ideal for showcasing your skills while enjoying the cozy vibes of autumn.
Yarn: For this project, you will need Manos del Uruguay's Silk Blend Semisolid yarn, which is a luxurious blend of 70% merino wool and 30% silk. This DK weight yarn comes in skeins of 150 yards (50 grams) each. Depending on your size, you will require 570, 620, 680, 780, 830, 870, or 940 yards (521, 567, 622, 668, 759, 796, or 860 meters) of yarn. Choose a color that reflects fall’s earthy tones for a truly seasonal look!
Needles: To knit the Fall in Love jacket, you'll need a set of 6 US / 4.0 mm 24-inch circular needles, as well as a set of 6 US / 4.0 mm double-pointed needles (DPNs). This combination will ensure that you have the right tools for achieving the perfect fit and design.
Gauge: Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the success of your project. You should aim for a gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows per 5 inches (13 cm) in the basic lattice pattern. Remember, taking the time to create a gauge swatch can save you time and frustration later, so don’t skip this important step!
Notions: In addition to your yarn and needles, you will need some essential notions to complete this jacket. Gather your stitch markers for keeping track of your pattern, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and seven buttons measuring 3.5 cm to add that final touch of elegance.
Sizes: The Fall in Love jacket is available in a variety of bust/chest circumferences: 32, 36, 38, 42, 46, 48, or 52 inches (80, 85/90, 96, 101/106, 111/116, 121, or 127/132 cm). The sample is shown in the size 38” (96 cm), which will fit a model with a bust circumference of 37 inches (94 cm). As a helpful tip, if you find yourself between sizes, consider choosing the next size up for a more comfortable fit.
Embrace the warmth and beauty of the fall season with this delightful knitting pattern, and enjoy creating a beautiful jacket that you can wear for years to come. Happy knitting!
