Knitting Kit - Petra Jacket by PetiteKnit

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry see here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Petra Jacket is knitted from top to bottom. You start by knitting the back yoke in rows, making increases. The shoulders are then worked from stitches picked up and knitted along the back yoke.

Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the shoulders so that all the stitches are together on the circular needle and can be worked in rows. You first make the increases for the sleeves, then the raglan increases.

The body is knitted in rows on a circular needle. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle with the Magic Loop technique.

To finish, the button bands are worked in garter stitch along the fronts, then the collar is knitted in ribbing.

It is recommended to knit a gauge swatch to determine the needle size needed to achieve the correct tension. Make sure to wash your swatch before taking your measurements.

Size Guide

The Petra Jacket is designed with a positive ease of about 22 cm, which means that the circumference of the jacket is intended to be about 22 cm larger than your bust.

Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit the following bust measurements:

75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm

The finished garment measurements are shown on the first page of the pattern. Note that these measurements are only valid if the indicated gauge is maintained throughout the project.

Measure your bust before starting to determine the size that will suit you best.

For example, if your bust (or the widest part of your upper body) measures 90 cm, you should knit a size S. The size S jacket has a bust circumference of 112 cm, which will give you a positive ease of 22 cm.
