PetiteKnit Petra Jacket - Knitting Pattern
Designed by PetiteKnit
This knitting pattern is a printed pattern in English.
The Petra Jacket is worked from the top down. First the back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped with increases. The shoulders are then worked from stitches picked up along the back yoke, and the sleeve stitches are picked up from the shoulders. Sleeve and raglan increases are worked with all stitches held on a circular needle, after which the body is worked back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or using Magic Loop. At the end, double-knitted front plackets are worked along the front edges and the neck is finished with a ribbed collar.
