Instructions November Jacket - Petite Knit

The November Jacket is knitted from the top down in brioche stitch. First, a section in double face (double knitting) is created, which sits at the neck and connects the front edges. Stitches for the back are picked up from this knitted piece, then the right and left shoulders are knitted. These three sections are then gathered on one needle to form the body, which is worked in brioche stitch in rows with double face edgings. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes. Finally, pockets are knitted in brioche stitch and sewn onto the jacket.

Size Guide

The November Jacket should have approximately 20 cm of positive ease. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. Measure yourself with a tape measure before you start knitting to determine the size that fits you best. Example: If your bust circumference (or your stomach, if that is the widest part of your body) measures 94 cm, you should choose size M. A size M jacket has a bust circumference of 115 cm and would in this case have 21 cm of positive ease.
