Zig zag jacket 502
PATTERN NOTES: Experience effortless style with this unique loose-fitting garment, designed for ultimate comfort and versatility. Choose a size that offers approximately 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) of ease when closed and overlapping. This pattern comes as a PDF file encompassing 4 pages, featuring a vibrant color front cover, clear metric and imperial measurements, a detailed schematic, a black-and-white flat garment photo, and a comprehensive written pattern.
MATERIALS REQUIRED: You will need approximately 1400 (1600, 1900, 2100)m / 1530 (1750, 2078, 2297) yds of TOTAL ARAN weight yarn to bring this design to life. For an eye-catching and personal touch, utilize 15 to 20+ different colors, textures, and novelty yarns. I recommend using leftovers from previous projects—1 or 2 balls of each color, or even just enough for a few rows. However, feel free to explore stunning alternatives like Noro yarn or any self-striping yarn, which can add a spectacular flair to your finished piece.
The design features a folded and hemmed collar, creating a neatly finished facing that elegantly frames the neckline. Most of the yarn ends will be cleverly encased within the double thickness of the collar. This pattern is thoughtfully written for a range of sizes, accommodating bust measurements from 36 to 54 inches. The drop shoulder sleeves offer a wide, unshaped silhouette with a circumference of 16-18 inches, and the armholes are designed to be 8-9 inches deep for a relaxed fit. The length to the shoulder varies from 25 inches for the smallest size to 28 inches for the largest, ensuring a flattering look for all body types.
TENSION GAUGE: To achieve the perfect results, maintain a tension gauge of 20 sts and 18 rows per 10 cm (4 inches) over the designated stitch pattern. Use 5.5mm needles and make sure to block your finished piece for the best fit and drape.
This lovely knitting pattern is perfect for those looking to flex their creativity and experiment with different yarns, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced knitters. Dive into this project and create a warm, stylish garment that will stand out in any wardrobe!
