Pattern Summary: Lana Grossa Silkhair Jacke – Modell 28 (Filati Classici 18)

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Lana Grossa presents Modell 28 from the Filati Classici 18 collection — an elegant, lightweight jacket (Jacke) worked in the brand's signature Silkhair yarn. The design is available as a free download and is sized for women's European sizes 36/38, 40/42, and 44, making it accessible to a range of knitters looking for a refined, airy layering piece.

What Is Being Made

The pattern produces a women's jacket or cardigan with set-in or shaped sleeves. The finished garment features a delicate rolled hem edging (Rollrändchen) at the cuffs and is constructed using a combination of a textured stitch pattern worked from a chart (Strickschrift) and standard stockinette sections. The result is a soft, semi-sheer jacket that showcases the natural drape and halo of the Silkhair yarn.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Lana Grossa Silkhair (70% Mohair, 30% Silk; 210 m / 25 g per ball) in Weißgrün (Farbe 140) — quantities are 175 g (size 36/38), 200 g (size 40/42), and 225 g (size 44)
• Knitting Needles: Straight needles in sizes Nr. 4 (3.5 mm) and Nr. 5 (3.75 mm)
• Circular Needle: Nr. 5 (3.75 mm), 80 cm length
• Crochet Hook: Nr. 3.5 mm (used for finishing or edging details)
• 2 additional spare needles for holding stitches

Techniques Used

• Double-stranded cast-on: The sleeves are begun by casting on with the yarn held double (doppelfädig) on the smaller Nr. 4 needles, a technique that creates a firmer, more stable foundation edge before transitioning to the main fabric
• Rolled hem (Rollrändchen): Four rows of stockinette stitch worked at the cuff create a naturally rolling edge — a classic finishing technique that lies flat without any additional ribbing or bind-off edging
• Even increase distribution: After the rolled hem, stitches are increased evenly across the final wrong-side row — 14 (19 – 24) stitches added — to arrive at the correct stitch count of 56 (63 – 70) stitches before beginning the main pattern
• Chart-based stitch pattern (Grundmuster): The body of the sleeves and garment pieces are worked following a written stitch chart (Strickschrift), with a defined repeat (Rapport) of 7 (8 – 9) repeats across the row, framed by edge stitches (Randmaschen) on each side
• Stitch holding: Stitches are placed on hold (stilllegen) after the first 16 rows of the pattern are complete, indicating a construction method that joins or picks up sections later
• Crochet finishing: The inclusion of a crochet hook suggests decorative or structural crochet edging is applied to the completed knitted pieces

Stitches Used

• Stockinette stitch (glatt rechts / glatt links): Used for the rolled hem section and structural areas; worked flat with knit rows on the right side and purl rows on the wrong side
• Textured pattern stitch (Grundmuster): The main fabric stitch worked from the chart, repeated across 16 rows to form the decorative body of the garment — characteristic of Lana Grossa's Filati
