Design 1: Rib Lace Jacket

What Is Being Made

The Rib Lace Jacket is a lightweight, short-sleeved summer jacket worked in a repeating rib lace stitch pattern. It is a shaped garment featuring armhole shaping and shoulder shaping, giving it a neat, fitted silhouette. The jacket is available in a wide range of sizes to suit many body types.

Sizing

• Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL
• To Fit Bust: 76–127 cm (30–50 ins)
• Actual Size at Underarm: 81–132 cm (32–52 ins)
• Length: 54–59 cm (21–23 ins) depending on size
• Sleeve Length: 18 cm (7 ins) across all sizes

Techniques Used

• Rib lace pattern – a four-stitch repeat combining knit stitches, yarn-round-needle increases, and purl-two-together decreases to create a delicate, open texture with a ribbed structure
• Armhole shaping – stitches are cast off at the beginning of rows to create clean armhole edges
• Shoulder shaping – stepped cast-off rows shape the shoulders for a professional finish
• Working in pattern – maintaining the established lace repeat while simultaneously working shaping rows, an important skill for beginner knitters to develop
• Tension/gauge swatching – the pattern instructs knitters to cast on 28 stitches and work 50 rows to check tension before beginning

Stitches Used

• K1 – knit one stitch
• yrn – yarn round needle (a yarn-over variation used when moving from a knit to a purl position, creating a decorative eyelet)
• P2tog – purl two together (a decrease stitch that pairs with the yarn-round-needle to keep the stitch count consistent and form the lace effect)
• The four-stitch lace rib repeat is: K1, yrn, P2tog, K1, repeated to end of row

Materials

• Yarn: Patons 100% Cotton DK in shade #02692 Cream, 100 g balls
