This elegant cardigan also features raglan shaping and uses short rows to create the elegantly shaped yoke. Increase stitches are worked at the side seams to create its trim silhouette, with the two front sections and back knitted separately along with the sleeves, before they are joined together to work the yoke in one piece. A choice of three body lengths are also provided for this elegant cardigan.
Our version of A Warm Jacket with an unusual bubble-stitch yoke is shown in the same striking burnt-orange as the original pattern but it would look fabulous in any colour you choose to use.
A Warm Jacket with an unusual bubble-stitch yoke is knitted using a choice of [productlink: Wold 2 Ply Fingering Weight = wold-2-ply-fingering-weight :productlink] or [productlink: Byre = byre :productlink].
Shown here using shade [productlink: Pompium = wold-2-ply-fingering-weight-pompium :productlink] in the [productlink: Wold 2 Ply Fingering Weight = wold-2-ply-fingering-weight :productlink], but would look equally stylish in our other suggested shade of [productlink: Jack ‘O’ Lantern = byre-jack-o-lantern :productlink] in our [productlink: Byre = byre :productlink] range.
Our model Charlie is shown wearing the first size 76-81cm (30-32in).
The pattern includes instructions for eight sizes to fit chest measurements between 81cm (32in) and 157cm (62in) and contains clear written instructions plus a comprehensive schematic diagram and sizing chart.
