Hooded cable jacket in super chunky
Discover this easy knitting pattern for a cozy hooded jacket crafted from super chunky yarn, perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish and warm garment with minimal effort. This pattern is specifically designed for determined improvers and above, incorporating just two simple cable techniques and an easy-to-master blob stitch for the main body, ensuring maximum visual impact with minimal complexity.
YARN REQUIREMENTS: You will need approximately 1312 to 1400 meters of any super chunky yarn that indicates a tension of 9 stitches and 12 rows per 10 cm over stocking stitch. Selecting the right yarn is crucial for achieving the desired look and feel of your jacket.
MEASUREMENTS: This jacket's length to the back neck is 72 cm for sizes 10 and 76 cm for size 12, with a sleeve seam length of 40 cm. The jacket is designed to comfortably fit around the chest, boasting a generous measurement of 120 cm, ensuring an oversized yet flattering silhouette.
FIT GUIDE: The hooded jacket is intended to fit oversized on a UK size 10 and offers a relaxed fit for sizes 12-14. The model, who is a UK size 10 and stands at 5 feet 3 inches tall, is seen wearing the shorter length option paired with standard-length sleeves. This pattern is versatile, with alternative options available to create rib cuffs or to omit them entirely. Additionally, the sleeves can be easily adjusted to be shorter for those under 5 feet 2 inches, or longer if preferred.
TENSION: Achieving the right tension is vital for the success of this project, as each stitch measures 1 cm. To ensure your final garment fits perfectly, it is recommended to knit a few swatches with different needle sizes until you discover the perfect one for your personal knitting style. Adhering to the specified tension not only influences the fit but also impacts the overall aesthetics of the cozy hooded jacket.
