Formula jacket

Formula Jacket is an intricately designed textured jacket featuring charming cable patterns. This unique knitting pattern is crafted from the top down, allowing for seamless construction, and includes separate methods for working the sleeves in both flat and round techniques after dividing the body. With a variety of stitches incorporated throughout the design, this jacket offers a delightful knitting experience. The main body utilizes a beautiful mix of garter and ribbing stitches, while the sleeves showcase the elegant Andalusian stitch paired with striking cables. For the collar and front band, a linen stitch brings a refined finish to the overall look. This versatile design is perfect for both men and women, making it a great addition to any wardrobe.

MATERIALS: You will need 7(7/8/8/9/10) skeins of Biscotte Yarns Griffon (166m / 180yd per 100 g) in Aran weight, specifically in the stunning Color Denim. This pattern requires approximately 1030(1150/1220/1320/1420/1560)m, or about 1130(1260/1330/1440/1550/1700)yd for completion.

Needle Size: To create the Formula Jacket, use a 4.5 mm (US 7) circular needle, which will accommodate the Aran weight yarn and ensure your stitches are perfectly sized.
