$14.00 Pattern #602

This little stranded hand knit jacket is so striking. Its overall damask pattern repeat elevates it from just another cardigan to a tailored couture knit jacket for special occasions. Actually, I find it just as perfect for semi-formal eveningwear to a light jacket cover with jeans.

The tailored fit of this stranded knit sweater jacket makes it a true classic. Measurements are included throughout the instructions for each of the 8 sizes every step of the way. Exact starting points within the stranded colorwork repeats are included for each portion of the knit damask jacket. Stitch and row counts are included as you check your progress. Fronts and back knit in one piece up to the armholes.

The collar on this stranded knit jacquard jacket is faced with a knitted under-collar in order to provide both its own structural support and an immaculate couture finish. It will stand up on its own as the collar on a Chanel-style knitted jacket should.

While there are no buttons included on the scalloped faced edges along the two fronts, buttons *could* be added along the vertical midline if desired. Crisp turn rows are featured along the bottom hemmed edges of the stranded hand knit jacket and the long sleeves.

With this pattern, not only do you receive detailed instructions for a fine stranded knit jacket, but you also receive my original large charted design repeat which could be incorporated into other personal projects. Not a fan of pointed star type narrow bands of stranded colorwork, I wanted to create an overall wispy, curvy balanced mesh of shapes in which no individual elements demanded attention.

My color choices further supported my desire to just "frost" the background with my repeating stranded knit design. To that end, again, as for my Jacquard Knit Jacket (at https://www.conniehester.com/jaquard-knit-jacket-pattern.htm), I chose colors close in value. To see this same stranded pattern repeat using higher contrast colors, see my Stranded Shawl Collar Jacket (at https://www.conniehester.com/stranded-shawl-collar-jacket.htm)

See more examples of high contrast between the two colors of yarn in my Stranded Colorwork Jacket (at https://www.conniehester.com/stranded-colorwork-jacket-pattern.htm) and my Damask Knit Coat (at https://www.conniehester.com/damask-knit-coat-pattern.htm).

The yarn I used for this stranded hand knit damask jacket is a sock weight / fingering weight yarn. Living in heat and humidity most of the year, I prefer to knit with cotton, but any fiber would be appropriate. The 3/2 perle cotton (Size 3 perle; 1260 yds per lb; 18 wraps per inch) which I used can also be dyed easily in fiber-reactive Procion MX dye, which I do frequently. I was so taken with the colors of "safari" and "natural" this time, though, that I purchased them already dyed.

Knit gauge in Stockinette Stitch with only one strand of yarn is 7 stitches and 10 rows per inch on Size 3 US needles. The stranding on the inside of knitwear when using the 2 colors produces a wonderful light jacket-weight which I love.
