Saga
Inspired by the ancient sagas of Norse mythology, I have meticulously designed a warm winter jacket that features stylish cross chain link cables, making it the perfect companion for battling the harsh chills of winter or enjoying a cool Northern summer day. This unique jacket has a straight silhouette and is elegantly fastened with three large bespoke buttons at the top, while the eye-catching cross chain link cables run gracefully across the saddle shoulders. The standing collar, crafted from a separate cable knit, adds an extra layer of warmth and sophistication.
For versatility, I also knitted a second loose collar that can double as a stylish belt, allowing you to tailor the look to your preferences. The vivid melange color combined with the delightful texture is achieved by holding together Rowan Lima and Hifa Pelsull yarns, creating a cozy and visually appealing garment that will make you stand out in any crowd.
The main body of the jacket is knitted flat for a seamless finish, while the sleeves are crafted in the round, featuring increases in stockinette stitch for a comfortable fit. Each cable has been thoughtfully gathered to maintain its striking texture all the way to the end. The Belt/Extra Collar comes in one size but can be easily adjusted to your desired length and embellished with added snap fasteners for added convenience and style.
Ensure a perfect fit by following the specified gauge: 14 stitches and 22 rows in stockinette stitch with both yarns held together using 5.5 mm needles yields a 10 cm/4" square. This pattern is an excellent choice for knitters looking for both a creative challenge and a practical piece to add to their winter wardrobe. Embrace your adventurous spirit and embark on this knitting project that will not only keep you warm but also showcase your unique style!
With this detailed pattern description and clear instructions for knitting your own stunning winter jacket, you’re well-equipped to create a timeless piece that reflects the rich heritage of ancient sagas while remaining functional and fashionable.
