Sky Line Jacket in Adriafil Plum

What is Being Made

The Sky Line Jacket is a knitted cardigan-style jacket designed in three sizes: 42, 44, and 46. This downloadable PDF pattern provides complete instructions for creating a structured, wearable jacket featuring button closures, set-in sleeves, and functional pockets. The garment is crafted using Adriafil Plum yarn, a premium aran-weight option that creates a fabric with excellent drape and durability suitable for everyday wear.

Techniques Used

This knitting pattern employs several fundamental and intermediate techniques to construct the jacket. Ribbed edging is used throughout to create neat, elastic finishes on cuffs and openings. Increases are worked systematically along sleeve sides to create gradual shaping and proper fit. Armhole shaping is achieved through strategic bind-offs worked over multiple rows, creating a professional cap sleeve construction. Pocket insertion involves knitting separate pocket pieces that integrate into the body of the jacket. The pattern also includes button band construction with five buttons spaced along the front opening for secure closure.

Stitches Used

• K2/P2 Rib: A classic two-by-two ribbed stitch used for cuffs, waistbands, and button bands, creating vertical lines that provide elasticity and a polished appearance
• Garter Stitch: The primary stitch used for the main body fabric, created by knitting every row, producing a textured, reversible fabric with excellent structure and warmth

Materials

This pattern requires 600 grams of Adriafil Plum yarn in the Rust brown colorway (No. 46), an aran-weight yarn ideal for creating substantial, durable knitwear. Two needle sizes are essential: Size No. 6 needles for ribbed sections and initial pocket work, and Size No. 8 needles for the main body and sleeve sections worked in garter stitch. Additional notions include 5 buttons for the front closure, a stitch holder pin for managing live stitches during construction, and a tapestry needle for seaming and finishing. The recommended gauge is 10 stitches by 10 centimeters worked on Size No. 6 needles in garter stitch, ensuring proper fit and fabric characteristics.
