Product Description
Elmwood Jacket in Rowan Kidsilk Haze – Pattern Summary
Designed by Georgia Farrell, Elmwood is a beautifully crafted knitted jacket worked in the luxurious Rowan Kidsilk Haze yarn. This intermediate-level knitting pattern is available as a downloadable PDF and offers a sophisticated, lightweight outerwear piece suitable for a wide range of sizes. The design makes elegant use of a fine mohair-silk blend yarn, resulting in a garment with a delicate halo and refined drape.
About the Garment
Elmwood is a fitted knitted jacket designed to suit chest measurements ranging from 71–76 cm (28–30 in) up to 152–157 cm (60–62 in), with actual garment chest measurements spanning from 81 cm (32 in) to 162.5 cm (64 in). This generous size range makes the pattern highly inclusive and versatile. The jacket features a button-front opening, fastened with 8 to 10 buttons depending on size — specifically TGB4276 mussel shell 15mm buttons from Textile Garden, which lend the finished piece a natural, tactile elegance.

Yarn and Materials
The pattern is written for Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a iconic 25g lace-weight yarn celebrated for its gossamer-fine mohair and silk construction. The yarn's natural halo gives knitted fabric a softly blurred, ethereal quality that is particularly flattering in garment knitting. Two colourways are referenced in the pattern:
- Electric 705 – used across all sizes, requiring 1 to 2 balls depending on size
- Caramel 732 – used as a contrasting or complementary shade, also requiring 1 to 2 balls depending on size
The use of two colourways suggests colour-blocking, striping, or contrast detailing within the jacket's construction, adding visual interest to the finished garment while keeping yarn quantities modest thanks to the lightweight nature of Kidsilk Haze.
Needles and Tools
A variety of needle types are required to construct Elmwood, reflecting the pattern's use of both flat and in-the-round knitting techniques:
- 1 pair 4mm (US 6) straight needles – for main flat knitting sections
- 4mm (US 6) circular needle, at least 100 cm long – suitable for working larger sections or picking up stitches around the body or button bands
- Set of 4 double-pointed 3½mm (US 4) needles – for smaller circumference sections worked in the round, such as cuffs or sleeve details
- Set of 4 double-pointed 4mm (US 6) needles – for additional in-the-round construction at the main gauge
Tension
Achieving the correct tension is essential for a well-fitting garment. The pattern specifies a tension of 22 stitches and 30 rows to 10 cm, measured over stocking stitch using 4mm (US 6) needles. Knitters are advised to work a tension swatch before beginning and to adjust needle size as necessary to match this gauge precisely.
Techniques and Stitches
Elmwood is rated as an intermediate knitting project, meaning it is best suited to knitters who are comfortable with a range of standard techniques beyond basic knit and purl. The pattern incorporates both flat and circular knitting methods, and uses a combination of needle types to achieve
