fOTOS, design and text © Anne Ventzel

Diamond Jacket is a soft jacket with a simple but refined diamond pattern, knitted in a chubby but light yarn. The jacket is worked from top to bottom. First, the upper part of the back is knitted, then, for the upper parts of the front parts along the shoulders, new stitches are knitted out. The back and fore-end parts come together at the lower arm cutouts, and knitting is done back and forth over all the stitches of the body up to the lower aperture. After that, the neck trim is worked, and finally, stitches for the sleeves are picked up on the arm cutouts, which are then knitted round.
