Jacket and Hood for Weekend Sports
Jacket and Hood for Weekend Sports is a delightful vintage knitting pattern originally published as a single-sized design in the 1940s, perfect for creating stylish and functional outerwear for active weekends. This classic pattern showcases an eye-catching design with striking v-shapes on the left and right fronts. Our modern interpretation, knitted in 2012, departs from the mirrored patterning, but we've included comprehensive instructions for those wishing to replicate the original vintage look or to follow the unique style of our sample.
The sample featured in this pattern is knitted using the luxurious Susan Crawford Vintage Barn yarn, a heavy DK weight that provides both warmth and durability. Whether you’re headed out for a brisk walk, a day of sports, or simply enjoying a casual outing, this jacket is designed to keep you comfortable and stylish.
In addition to the chic jacket, we have also integrated an extremely practical matching hood into the pattern, allowing you to achieve the complete 1930s sporty aesthetic. The combination of the jacket and hood not only elevates your outfit but also adds an extra layer of protection against the elements.
Our model is showcasing the first size, which fits a chest measurement of 81-87cm (30-32in). However, one of the standout features of this pattern is its versatility: it includes a total of eight size options, accommodating chest measurements from 30 inches to 60 inches (76-152cm). This range ensures that knitters of all sizes can enjoy creating and wearing this timeless design.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, the Jacket and Hood for Weekend Sports pattern is an ideal project to enhance your knitting skills while producing a functional piece of clothing that pays homage to vintage sportswear.
