The Princess and the Seed

Discover the charm of our little fitted jacket pattern, featuring elegant princess-style shaping and unique seed stitch side panels. This exquisite design includes a variety of lovely details, making it a standout addition to any wardrobe. The carefully crafted princess-style shaping provides an expertly tailored fit that flatters all body types, while the seed stitch side panels offer a delightful texture with their shorter row gauge. This thoughtful design allows the sweater to gracefully scoop up slightly over the hips while extending lower in both front and back for a flattering silhouette. You have the option to knit one or two practical pockets seamlessly into the design, adding both function and style.

The construction method for this stunning jacket involves working flat with seams and set-in sleeves, which further enhances the fine fit of the knitted piece. The pattern boasts integrated buttonholes that are cleverly incorporated into the attached I-cord trim added all around, giving the jacket a professional finish and providing ease in fastening.

Gauge: For best results, aim for 18 stitches and 25 rows to measure 4” in stockinette stitch, and 16 stitches and 28 rows for 4” in seed stitch. To ensure a perfect fit, be sure to work a large gauge swatch using both stockinette and seed stitch techniques. Don’t forget to measure your gauge from the center of a washed and dried swatch to achieve accurate results.

Techniques used: This pattern incorporates essential knitting techniques, including an attached I-cord, short rows (which are explained in detail), and a 3-needle bind-off for seamless construction.

Pattern includes: Comprehensive written instructions, detailed schematics for visual guidance, and a glossary to help clarify any terminology. Dive into this engaging knitting project and create a piece that combines comfort and sophistication!
