Red Jacket

This beautifully oversized box jacket knitting pattern is designed in two sizes to accommodate a range of body types, specifically small to medium (approximately UK dress size 12 to 16) and medium to large (approximately UK dress size 18 to 22). Crafted with Aran weight yarn, this stylish jacket features fashionable dropped sleeves and a stand-up collar, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe. The design includes convenient side slits and practical pockets, along with textured ribbing at the collar, cuffs, pocket tops, and welt, complemented by moss stitch front bands and a secure button closure.

The garment is knitted flat, incorporating side, sleeve, and shoulder seams, with stitches expertly picked up to complete the pocket tops, front bands, and the self-lined collar. Techniques featured in this pattern include stocking stitch, two-colored ribbing, and moss stitch. While classified as an intermediate pattern, it is also suitable for beginners who are eager to expand their skills, especially with a little assistance in picking up stitches for the finishing touches.

As the original yarn (Jamieson & Smith Soft Spun) is now unavailable, we've provided several alternative yarn options to help you achieve the desired look and feel. This pattern specifically showcases the plain version of the "Poppy Jacket," and the downloadable PDF includes comprehensive instructions for both variations, ensuring you have all you need to create this stunning oversized jacket.

Whether you're looking to elevate your own knitwear collection or create a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this oversized box jacket pattern is not to be missed. Happy knitting!
