Jakers

Introducing the delightful Jakers knitting pattern, a stunning top-down design that combines elegance and comfort with a charming lace pattern gracing the yoke. This project begins with some short rows worked back and forth to create a beautifully pronounced higher back neck, followed by the seamless construction of the yoke worked in rounds until the sleeve separation. Just before you place the sleeve stitches on hold, you'll complete the yoke shaping with a few final short rows, ensuring a perfect fit. After that, the body of the garment is knitted down to the hem, making it a satisfying and straightforward knitting experience. Once the body is complete, the held sleeve stitches are returned to the needles, allowing you to knit the sleeves from the top down to meet the lovely lace pattern at the cuffs. The best part? This project requires no additional finishing, so you can enjoy your creation right away!

This lovely design initially calls for the original yarn: Sionnach Yarns Gleninagh, which offers an impressive 437 yards (400 m) per 100g skein. For those looking for alternatives, we provide suggestions to accommodate a range of sizes, with approximately 1039 (1149, 1236, 1334, 1443)(1589, 1675, 1783, 1942) yards or 950 (1050, 1130, 1219, 1319)(1452, 1531, 1630, 1775) meters needed, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your needs.

To achieve the best results, maintain a gauge of 24 stitches by 36 rows, yielding a 4" (10 cm) square in Stockinette stitch on the larger needle after blocking. For optimal comfort and style, we recommend incorporating a suggested ease of 3 - 5" (7.5 - 13 cm) into your measurements, allowing the Jakers to fit beautifully and effortlessly into your wardrobe. Perfect for knitters of all levels, this pattern brings joy and creativity to your knitting projects while adding a touch of sophistication to your collection.
