Rebecca Jacket in Adriafil Llama – Knitting Pattern Summary

The Rebecca Jacket is a sophisticated, oversized-style knitted jacket worked in a striking three-color slip-stitch pattern using Adriafil Llama yarn in super chunky weight. This downloadable PDF pattern produces a relaxed, textured garment with a V-neck, set-in sleeves, and elegant waist shaping, making it a rewarding project for knitters with intermediate to advanced experience. The finished jacket has a rich, dimensional fabric created by alternating three carefully chosen neutral shades of the Adriafil Llama yarn.

What Is Being Made

The pattern creates a full knitted jacket worked in separate pieces — a back, two fronts, and sleeves — that are seamed together on completion. The garment features a V-neckline, waist shaping through decreases and increases along the side seams, and armhole shaping for a tailored fit. It is available in three sizes:

• Small: 92 cm chest, 74 cm length
• Medium: 102 cm chest, 76 cm length (size shown in the pattern)
• Large: 112 cm chest, 77 cm length

Materials Required

Yarn

The pattern calls exclusively for Adriafil Llama, a super chunky weight yarn, used in three colorways:

• Color A – Medium Brown (#63): 700g – the dominant background color
• Color B – Dark Gray (#68): 200g – used as a contrast stripe color
• Color C – Light Beige (#60): 200g – used as the third contrast color

The generous quantity of Adriafil Llama in Color A reflects its role as the primary color throughout the repeating stitch pattern, while Colors B and C appear at regular intervals to create the characteristic woven, textured effect of the fabric.

Needles

• 7 mm straight needles (or size needed to obtain gauge)
• 7 mm circular needle, 80 cm length – suitable for picking up stitches around the neckline or working larger stitch counts

Gauge

Achieving the correct gauge is essential for this pattern. The stated gauge is approximately 16 stitches and 18 rows to 10 cm, measured in the stitch pattern on 7 mm needles. Because the stitch pattern involves slipped stitches across multiple rows and colors, knitters should work a generous swatch in the full stitch repeat before beginning.

Stitches and Techniques Used

The Three-Color Slip-Stitch Pattern

The defining feature of the Rebecca Jacket is its eight-row repeating slip-stitch colorwork pattern. Slip-stitch colorwork is a technique where only one color of yarn is worked at a time per row, but stitches from previous rows are slipped without being knitted, allowing the colors below to show through. This creates a woven or mosaic-like appearance without the complexity of stranded colorwork or intarsia. It is an excellent technique for knitters who want colorwork results without managing multiple yarns simultaneously in a single row.

The stitch pattern repeat for the Rebecca Jacket works as follows:

• Rows 1 and 5 – Color A: K1, slip 1, repeated across
• Rows 2 and 6 – Color A: Slip the slipped stitch from the previous row, knit the knit stitch, repeated across
• Row 3 – Color B: Slip 1, K1, repeated across
• Row 4 – Color B: K1, slip the slipped stitch from the previous row, repeated across
• Row 7 – Color C: Work as Row 3
• Row 8 – Color C: Work as Row 4
