Ribbon Jacket

Introducing our elegantly designed jacket, perfect for knitters seeking a stylish and sophisticated piece. This statement jacket features a chic single button closure adorned with decorative ribbon trim, an elegant collar, and practical pockets. With full-length set-in sleeves and refined binding details on the collar, sleeves, body, and pocket tops, this jacket is sure to turn heads. The innovative construction technique involves working the body in one piece up to the armholes before dividing for the fronts and back, ensuring seamless integrity and a polished look. The collar is knitted separately for added detail, and binding on all pieces is achieved by skillfully picking up stitches. To achieve a clean finish, we recommend weaving in the contrast yarn (Yarn B) at the back of the work between motifs to eliminate undesirable floats. Originally crafted using Artesano Superwash Merino (a solid shade in DK weight) and the luxurious Manos del Uruguay Silk Blend, we acknowledge that the Artesano yarn is now discontinued. However, a suitable alternative is Wendy Merino DK, which maintains the same quality and texture. For even more options, consider exploring yarnsub for additional suitable substitute yarns. When selecting your yarn, bear in mind that the original Manos del Uruguay yarn was available in 100g skeins. Both the original and suggested alternative yarns are included in the pattern details. Remember to swatch your chosen yarn, especially if you're substituting, to ensure the best fit and drape for your elegant jacket. Perfect for layering in cooler weather or as a stylish addition to your wardrobe, this jacket knitting pattern is not only a practical project but also a way to showcase your knitting skills.
