Lantern Jacket

Introducing the Lantern Jacket, a beautifully crafted piece inspired by the elegant shape of a lantern. This light-textured jacket features a casual short fit and is designed with long sleeves, subtle curves, and a smooth texture transition that enhances its unique style. The innovative snap button closure allows the jacket to transform seamlessly: fully closed, it presents a chic jacket look with an overlapped front, while opened, it offers a cozy cardigan style. The Lantern Jacket is expertly knitted from the top down in one continuous piece, making it not only stylish but also easy to create.

MEASUREMENTS: Ensure the perfect fit with our detailed sizing: Bust Circumference: 118 (124) 130 (135) 140 (146) cm [46.5 (48.8) 51.2 (53.1) 55.1 (57.5) inches]. Length: 48 (49) 50 (52) 54 (56) cm [18.9 (19.3) 19.7 (20.5) 21.3 (22) inches] – measured at the mid back for accuracy.

KNITTING DENSITY: Achieve the ideal texture with our recommended knitting density. Using 5 mm [US 8] needles, create a beautiful double seed stitch with a density of 14 sts x 20 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]. This combination results in a silky and breathable fabric that is perfect for layering.

SIZE GUIDE: The Lantern Jacket is thoughtfully designed to offer approximately 30 cm [11.8 inches] of positive ease. This means it is intended to be around 30 cm [11.8 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement, ensuring a comfortable and relaxed fit. This unique design aspect not only enhances comfort but also adds to the overall silhouette of the garment, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
