Sidney Jersey in Adriafil Mohair Stretch

What is Being Made

The Sidney Jersey is a knitted garment constructed from Adriafil Mohair Stretch yarn in a seagreen colorway. This is a fitted jersey-style jacket available in three sizes: 40, 42, and 44. The garment features shaped armholes, a neckline with progressive decreases, and set-in sleeves, making it a sophisticated layering piece suitable for various occasions.

Techniques Used

This knitting pattern employs several fundamental shaping techniques to create a tailored fit. The construction begins with cast-on stitches and uses strategic increases and decreases to shape the garment pieces. Increases are worked on the right side of the front panels to create shaping, while decreases are used to form the armholes and neckline. The sleeves are shaped with progressive decreases on both sides to taper from the cast-on edge to the cuff. The pattern demonstrates proper garment construction methodology, with separate pieces for the back, right front, left front, and sleeves that are later assembled using a tapestry needle.

Stitches Used

• Elastic Rib: Used for the starting edge to provide stretch and recovery at cuffs and waistband areas
• Rib Stitch 1/1: A classic alternating knit and purl pattern that creates vertical columns of texture, used for ribbed edging and cuff sections
• Knitted Stitch: The primary stitch throughout the main body of the garment, creating a smooth, uniform fabric surface

Materials

This pattern requires 250 grams of Adriafil Mohair Stretch yarn in seagreen number 08. The yarn weight is DK (double knitting), a versatile medium weight suitable for garments with drape and softness. Knitting needles size 3 are used for the construction, and a tapestry needle is required for seaming and finishing the assembled pieces together.
