Honey Jacket

Description

Photos, design and text © Anne Ventzel

HONEY JACKET is knitted from top to bottom and does not have to be sewn together at the end. First, the back fit is made, then along the shoulders stitches for the front sides are picked up. Under the arm cutouts, the rear and the two front sides are connected and the body is made in rows across all stitches. After that, stitches for the tie are picked up on the neck cutout, which is knitted in rows; the same is done afterwards for the bezels. The end on the neck ends with a small rolling edge. Finally, around the arm cutouts, stitches for the sleeves are inserted, which are knitted downwards in rounds.

It is very different how much freedom of movement you want to achieve on your knitted piece. Take measure of your favorite jacket. So the decision regarding the appropriate size may be easier for you.
