Creamy Bed Jacket Knitting Pattern in Adriafil Sierra Andina — Free Downloadable PDF

This free downloadable knitting pattern from Adriafil provides full instructions for creating the "Creamy" Bed Jacket, a soft and elegant garment worked in Adriafil Sierra Andina yarn in Cream No. 30. The pattern is sized for European sizes 40, 42, and 44, making it accessible to a range of knitters who want a cosy, wearable layering piece. The bed jacket is a classic, relaxed garment designed to be worn over nightwear or as a lightweight indoor layer, combining warmth with a delicate, feminine aesthetic.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a bed jacket — a short, loose-fitting knitted jacket traditionally worn in bed or as a comfortable indoor wrap. This version, named "Creamy," is worked in a warm neutral cream shade and features structured shaping across the back, right front, left front, and sleeves. Additional components include a buttoning edge and laces, giving the jacket a refined, finished appearance. The combination of textured stitch patterns and classic shaping makes this a rewarding intermediate knitting project.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Adriafil Sierra Andina in Cream No. 30 — approximately 350 g required
• Knitting Needles: No. 3½ (metric), used throughout the pattern for all main pieces
• Crochet Hook: No. 3.00, used for finishing details
• Tapestry Needle: required for seaming and finishing

Adriafil Sierra Andina is a DK weight yarn, making it suitable for needles in the 3–4 mm range. Its composition gives the fabric a soft, slightly rustic warmth that is well suited to a cosy bed jacket. The cream colourway keeps the finished garment versatile and timeless.

Techniques Used

• Casting on and binding off stitches across multiple garment sections
• Armhole shaping using decreases worked in the edge stitches — specifically decreasing 2 stitches every other 4 rows and every other 6 rows for a total of 11 decrease rounds, followed by binding off 4 stitches every 2 rows, twice
• Sleeve shaping through incremental increases — 1 stitch increased on each side every 10 rows, repeated 13 times
• Working a buttoning edge as a separate long strip in fancy rib stitch, cast on with 9 stitches and worked to a length of 115 (117–119) cm depending on size
• Constructing laces as a separate knitted component, cast on with 23 stitches and worked in stock stitch
• Mirroring left and right fronts — the left front is worked to match the right front with appropriate adjustments for the wrong side of the work
• Use of a crochet hook for edging or finishing, a common technique in knitted garments to neaten seams and borders

Stitches Used

Stock Stitch

Stock stitch (also known as stockinette stitch) forms the main fabric of the bed jacket body, fronts, sleeves, and laces. It is created by alternating knit rows on the right side and purl rows on the wrong side, producing a smooth, flat fabric on the knit face. This classic stitch is ideal for showcasing the texture and colour of Adriafil Sierra Andina.

Fancy Rib Stitch (Over Odd Stitches)

The fancy rib stitch is used for the buttoning edge strip and adds decorative texture to this functional element of the jacket. The stitch pattern is worked as follows:

• Row 1: * k1, p1 *, repeat from * to *, ending k1
