Transform your knitting project with this stunning Herringbone stitch jacket that adds a sophisticated twist to a classic silhouette. This beautifully designed jacket is crafted in separate pieces from the bottom up, beginning with a hem facing before sewing everything together after blocking for a polished finish. The uniquely styled front armholes are designed to have a deeper cut than the back, achieving an elegant English tailored shoulder that enhances fit and comfort.

For best results, it's crucial to take gauge measurements for the Zigzag pattern before and after washing and blocking your swatch. Proper gauge checks are essential to ensure that the length of your working project aligns with the desired specifications. The pattern provides specific row counts within the Zigzag section, but achieving the correct length depends on matching your row gauge to the pattern's requirements. Knowing both your pre-blocking and post-blocking row gauge is vital for a successful knitted piece. Be sure to work a large swatch to verify accurate gauge; you may find you need to adjust the number of rows to match the post-blocking lengths indicated in the pattern.

Gauge: 20 stitches and 31 rows = 4” / 10 cm in Stockinette stitch, using size 6 US / 4 mm knitting needles. By ensuring your gauge is accurate, you will achieve a beautifully fitting jacket that enhances your overall knitting experience.

Embrace the art of knitting with this elegant Herringbone stitch jacket pattern, perfect for both novice and experienced knitters looking to elevate their wardrobe with timeless craftsmanship.
