Womens Knitted Jacket: A light and dainty garment suitable for wearing under a costume coat for the sake of warmth. It is made from a soft material, so does not crush the blouse over which it is intended to be worn.

Womens Knitted Jacket Materials -

  • 9 ozs. Beehive Shetland Floss.
  • Two no. 8 Celluloid knitting needles.
  • Five buttons.

Work at a tension to produce about 5.5 stitches and 10 rows to the inch.

Commencing up the front edge, cast on loosely 100 stitches.

Knitting plain, increase once at one end of the work in every row until 134 stitches are on the needle. The shaped edge is for the neck. Continue, in plain knitting without shaping, until 4 more inches are worked. Then, at the shaped edge, cast off 45 stitches for the armhole. Knit one inch without shaping, then cast on 45 stitches at the shaped edge of the work.

Work 15 inches, without shaping, for the back.

Casting off 45 stitches for the 2nd armhole, knit 1 more inch on the remaining stitches. Casting on 45 stitches again for the other side of the armhole, knit 4 inches without shaping. Continue, decreasing once at the neck end in every row, until only 100 stitches remain on the needle. Cast off very loosely.

THE SLEEVES of the womens knitted jacket

Cast on 80 stitches.

1st row - knit plain.

2nd row - k.10, turn

3rd row - knit the stitches of the short row

4th row - knit the stitches of the previous short row and 10 more stitches

Repeat the 3rd and 4th rows until all the stitches are worked on to one row again. Knit plain until the narrow edge measures 11 inches (without stretching.) Finish at the wide edge and repeat from the 2nd row until another gusset is made. Work one row in plain knitting. Cast off.

THE CUFFS of the womens knitted jacket

Knit up 1 stitch between each ridge along the narrow edge of the work. Work a row in plain knitting decreasing the number of stitches to 56.

2nd row - k.4, * P.3, K.2, repeat from * to the end of the row.

Repeat this row for 4 inches. Cast off loosely. Sew up the shoulder seams. Sewing up the seams of the sleeves, fix the latter in the armholes. Work 6 rows of D.C. round the two fronts and neck, working evenly so as not to draw the work. Make button hole loops and sew on the buttons to correspond with the button holes for this womens knitted jacket.
