Discover the perfect blend of style and comfort with this classic, fitted tweedy jacket featuring elegant lace detail. Designed with set-in sleeves and practical patch pockets, this jacket is an ideal addition to your wardrobe. The exquisite yarn sourced from New Lanark Mills is what truly inspires the unique tweedy look, giving this fitted jacket its distinctive charm. The simple yet effective Knot Stitch is both enjoyable and easy to master, with the most challenging aspect being the need to count rows. To make it easier, we recommend doing this on the wrong side of your work for greater accuracy.

For those looking to elevate their knitting project, the optional lace detail on the collar and cuffs adds a touch of sophistication. While the lace construction involves some complexity, it’s still manageable for knitters with basic skills. The instructions for finishing the lace edge on the cuff involve casting on and off with waste yarn, followed by grafting the edges together for a seamless look. However, if you prefer a more straightforward approach, you can cast on and off directly in Yarn A and simply sew the edges together, which is a great time-saver.

Because this tweedy jacket is fitted, it's crucial to carefully check the actual measurements before you decide on the size to knit. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or making a thoughtful gift, this fitted tweedy jacket will surely impress anyone who wears it. Start your knitting journey today and create a chic piece that’s perfect for any occasion!
