NOTE: This jacket is made using large 400g size balls of yarn. For the sample garment in the first size, we utilized about 500g of yarn, which approximately equates to 1050 meters in total length, ensuring ample coverage and warmth.

SIZES: This zipped jacket is designed to fit bust measurements of 75, 85, 95, and 105 cm, with actual bust sizes measuring 83.5, 96.5, 110, and 122 cm respectively. The sleeve seam lengths range from 41 to 44 cm, while the back lengths measure 60, 64, 66, and 69 cm to fit various body types comfortably.

YARN: For this beautiful jacket, you will need 2(2:3:3) x 400g balls of Sirdar Aran with Wool in the stunning ‘Glen Coe’ shade (929), which offers a total of 840 meters per ball. You will also require a pair of 5 mm needles (UK/Canada/Australia no. 6/US8) and a 66(71:71:76) cm open-ended zip to complete your project, along with matching sewing thread and needle for a polished finish.

To successfully substitute yarn, ensure you have the correct length that achieves a knit tension of 18 stitches and 24 rows per 10 cm square worked in stocking stitch using 5 mm needles (UK/Canada/Australia no.6/US8).
