JACKET. AUTHOR M. Dagaeva

The first round yoke. I always thought that with wide shoulders it wasn't an option, but this summer many are knitting them - and I'm joining too. I decided to provide as much detailed information as possible; maybe it will be useful to someone. Yarn Nako "Estiva" 375m/100g, 50% cotton, 50% bamboo, very pleasant to the touch, the fabric flows beautifully. Needles 2mm for the neckline, finishing the sleeve and bottom, main fabric 2.5mm. I cast on 144 sts, knitted 4 rows of purl stitches, then the yoke according to the pattern (attached). After finishing the yoke, I separated the stitches like for a raglan (the pattern is attached) 360 sts. After knitting 12 cm of raglan, I separated the body and sleeves, made a underarm with 14 sts. Then I knit the body, made increases three times, two stitches on each side, for an A-silhouette, finished the bottom by knitting 7 rows of garter stitch on 2mm needles. Total length 63 cm, width 58 cm, ease 6 cm. After wet blocking it stretched down by 1.5 cm, in width by 2 cm, but I knitted quite tightly. Sleeve - I picked up stitches from the underarm and knitted 4 rows of knit stitches, then on 2mm needles 7 rows of garter stitch. I closed it normally, but with purl stitches. That seems to be everything. I wore it in the heat - it's very nice, doesn't overheat, the whole fabric flows and hangs. HEIGHT ASIAN 3 cm before the underarms, YARN USAGE 275 g, SIZE 52-54.
