Lisabet Jacket in Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia – Pattern Summary

The Lisabet Jacket is a beautifully structured, button-front knitted jacket designed by Claudia Wersing as part of The Cosy Collection. Worked in the luxurious Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia yarn at DK weight, this intermediate-level pattern produces a polished, wearable garment with a refined colorwork panel and classic tailored shaping. It is available as a downloadable PDF and is suitable for knitters who are comfortable with colorwork techniques and basic garment construction.

What Is Being Made

The Lisabet Jacket is a structured, mid-length knitted jacket featuring a folded hem, a Fair Isle colorwork panel across the body, set-in armhole shaping, and a button band closure fastened with 7 buttons. It is designed to fit a range of bust sizes from 33 to 48¾ inches (84–124 cm), with finished bust measurements ranging from 35½ to 51 inches (90–130 cm) and a shoulder length of approximately 24 to 25½ inches (61–65 cm). The jacket offers a modest amount of positive ease, making it comfortable and flattering across five sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, and 2X-Large.

Materials Used

The pattern calls for Juniper Moon Farm Patagonia, a DK weight yarn, in two colors:

• Color 118 Sand (A) – the main color, requiring 4 (4, 5, 5, 6) x 100g hanks depending on size
• Color 104 Mahogany (B) – the contrast color used in the colorwork panel, requiring 1 x 100g hank across all sizes

Knitting needles in US size 4 / 3.5mm are specified, or the size needed to achieve gauge. Additional notions include 7 buttons for the front closure.

Gauge

Achieving accurate gauge is essential for proper fit in this pattern. Two separate gauges are given:

• 22 stitches and 30 rows to 4 inches / 10 cm over plain Stockinette stitch
• 22 stitches and 25 rows to 4 inches / 10 cm over patterned Stockinette stitch (the Fair Isle section)

Both gauges are measured using US 4 / 3.5mm needles. The difference in row gauge between plain and patterned sections is an important detail that knitters should note, as it affects the vertical proportions of the finished garment.

Techniques Used

The Lisabet Jacket draws on a range of classic knitting techniques that make it an engaging project for intermediate knitters:

• Stockinette Stitch (St st) – the primary fabric stitch used throughout the body of the jacket, creating a smooth, clean surface that showcases both the solid color sections and the colorwork panel
• Folded Hem – the lower edge of the back is worked in Stockinette stitch for 10 rows, followed by a purl fold line row on the right side, then continued in Stockinette to create a neat, self-finishing turned hem
• Fair Isle Colorwork – a 32-row, 16-stitch repeat chart is worked across the upper body using the Fair Isle technique, which involves carrying two colors of yarn across the row to create a traditional stranded colorwork pattern. The chart is worked in both colors A (Sand) and B (Mahogany), with the starting stitch of the repeat adjusted for each size to center the motif correctly
• Armhole Shaping – set-in armhole shaping is achieved through a series of bind-offs at the beginning of rows, followed by decrease rows, giving the jacket a structured, tailored silhouette
• Chart Reading – right-side rows are read from right to left and wrong-side rows from left to right on the colorwork chart, a standard convention in knitting that the pattern explicitly references
