JC Halcyon
This beautifully crafted JC-Halcyon knitting pattern has been expertly Tech Edited and thoroughly Test Knitted for optimal results, ensuring you have everything you need for a successful project. The JC-Halcyon is designed to be knit flat in separate pieces from the bottom up, starting with the intricately designed back. Once the back is complete, you will effortlessly transition to the front, carefully creating the shoulder seams using short rows. These seams are finished beautifully with a 3-needle bind-off technique, adding durability and a polished look to your garment.
The sleeves of the JC-Halcyon are picked up along the armhole, allowing you to knit straight through to the cuff for a sleek and stylish finish. For those who prefer a more tailored look, alternate instructions for tapered sleeves are also included, providing adaptable options to suit your personal style. The collar is a standout feature, created by picking up stitches on the wrong side of the fabric. This unique method leaves the seam facing the right side, contributing an elegant detail that perfectly coordinates with the overall design of the garment.
Model information: The model showcased wears a size L, which fits a chest size of 39 inches or 99 cm, with the garment measuring 44.5 inches (113 cm). To ensure a comfortable fit, we recommend incorporating 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm) of positive ease in your sizing choice for an ideal balance of comfort and style.
GAUGE is vital for achieving the perfect fit: you’ll need to knit 16 stitches and 20 rows to measure 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch on the larger needle. If you’re knitting in rib pattern on the smaller needle, aim for 18 stitches and 20 rows to also measure 4 inches (10 cm). This gauge information is crucial for your knitting success and will help you create a stunning JC-Halcyon garment that you can wear with pride.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just getting started, this pattern offers a delightful challenge and the opportunity to create a beautiful and functional piece for your wardrobe. Embrace your knitting journey with the JC-Halcyon pattern and enjoy the satisfaction of crafting a custom garment that reflects your unique style!
