Knitting kit for November Jacket by PetiteKnit
The November Jacket is worked from the top down in brioche stitch. First, a section is worked in double knitting for the back of the neck, which will later be connected to the front edges. Then, stitches are picked up and knitted along one side of this section and the back yoke is worked from these stitches. After this, the right shoulder and left shoulder are worked. These three sections are joined at the underarms, and the body is worked back and forth in brioche stitch with front edges in double knitting. Stitches are picked up and knitted around the armholes and the sleeves are worked down from these. The pockets are also worked in brioche stitch and sewn on at the end.
The yarn kit contains: Önling No 1 for the elected size and a printed pattern, which you'll receive with your yarn. Buttons are NOT included.
Size guide:
The November Jacket is designed to have approx. 20 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 20 cm [8 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are intended for a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm.
Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 94 cm [37 inches] around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size M. A size M jacket has a bust circumference of 115 cm [45¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 21 cm [8¼ inches] of positive ease.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
