Sirdar Husky Super Chunky Jacket and Scarf Pattern 7196

Project Overview

This downloadable knitting pattern from Sirdar provides instructions for creating a coordinated jacket and scarf set using Sirdar Husky Super Chunky yarn. The pattern offers multiple size options ranging from dress size 10 through 20, accommodating bust measurements from 81cm to 107cm (32 to 42 inches). The jacket features an adjustable sleeve length and a full length measurement ranging from 48cm to 56cm depending on size selected.

Jacket Construction

The jacket is the primary garment in this pattern, designed to fit a range of body sizes with actual bust measurements from 90cm to 115cm (35½ to 45¼ inches). The pattern provides detailed measurements for each size, allowing knitters to select the appropriate dimensions for their intended wearer. The jacket's full length varies from 19 inches to 22 inches across the size range, while sleeve length is adjustable and ranges from approximately 43cm to 47cm (17 to 18½ inches), with extended measurements provided for larger sizes up to 57.5cm.

Scarf Design

Accompanying the jacket is a coordinating scarf, designed to complement the main garment. The scarf uses a contrasting shade of Sirdar Husky Super Chunky yarn, creating visual interest through color variation while maintaining yarn weight consistency.
