Breeze Jacket

All patterns are available for purchase through Ravelry. Please visit the Ravelry page for details.

This jacket is an item that brings a different feel to fashion during the changing seasons. It can be worn as either a jacket or a blouse. The back yoke is knit first with increases from the shoulders down. The front stitches are picked up separately along each shoulder, then front neck slope is shaped. The back and both fronts are joined at the underarms to be worked in one piece to the hem. The sleeves are worked in the round from stitches picked up around the armhole. Then, stitches are picked up around the neck opening and I-cord BO is worked for the edging. Finally, I-cord ties are worked and attached to each part. The length of the body can be changed to your preference.

This pattern has been technically edited and test knitted.

  Heavy weight yarn is not suitable for this project since the fronts are closed with I-cord ties. I recommend choosing lightweight yarn such as laceweight mohair yarn held double or combining fine yarn with silk mohair.
