SWEATSHIRT JACKET for Women
|
For quite some time, I have been wanting to rework the Sweatshirt Jacket pattern (that was originally in Fall '96 Knitter's magazine) in a lighter weight yarn. The original was made with 2 strands of bulky yarn held together, for a very warm, and heavy, men's winter jacket!
This woman's jacket version is made with just 1 strand of bulky yarn, and, though it is warm, it is not as heavy a jacket as the original. I also made some changes to the original. This pattern has no hood. I don't like hoods, myself, and was finding that many women were knitting the jacket for themselves, not their husbands, as was the intent of the original design. I do, however, like a foldover ribbed collar, so that is what I have used in this version. This jacket, I will happily wear! I have kept the upper body patterning, the zipper closure, and the slanted pockets, that are typical to a sweatshirt, giving it it's distinctive look.
I've made it in a wear-with-everything charcoal grey, but, as Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky comes in tons of exciting colors, there's no reason to limit yourself to a subdued color, if you desire more flash in your wardrobe! Finally, this pattern is in 5 sizes, 2 more than the original, for a greater range of fit!
