Jenny Jacket

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Jenny Jacket is knitted from the bottom up in stockinette stitch. The body and sleeves are knitted separately, after which they are joined together on the same circular needle to knit the yoke. The yoke is finished at the top with short rows to shape the neckline. The body is knitted back and forth, while the sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or with Magic Loop technique. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges, and button bands are knitted. Then the neckline is knitted.

Size guide

Jenny Jacket should have a movement allowance (positive ease) of approx. 12-15 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your own body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-105 (105-115) 115-125 (125-135) cm. The measurements of the finished jacket are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself, before you start knitting, to determine which size suits you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A cardigan in size S has a width of 102 cm and will in the mentioned example give a movement allowance (positive ease) of 12 cm. If you are between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the smallest size, as stockinette stitch grows slightly when worn.
