FurTrimmed Jacket Reviewed by Claire on 2009-05-19
This is the first clothing item that I have ever made. I consider my knitting skill as an extreme beginner, and I had no problems in following this pattern. I adapted it a little, as I prefer longer sleeves and I shaped the collar differently as well. I also put a band on the bottom which stopped it from curling. I loved it so much that I have just started on my third jacket in only 3 weeks! This time I am using a multi brown colour with a gold thread highlight. I have never before made anything which I have been able to wear, so this has been a major accomplishment for me, and I am thrilled that an extreme beginner was able to complete a 'intermediate' pattern. I just had to take some photo's to show off, and one of my cats wanted to get in the picture, and I didn't have the heart to move her. The blue one is the first one I made, I added the bottom band and the cuffs on once I had finished. The pink one is the second one I made, and knitted the band and cuffs in as I went. The result is much better. For the collar, I used 25 stitches instead of the 21 stated. For the blue jacket, I used 2 strands of white flutter and the main yarn as well, even though the pattern only calls for just using the 2 strands of flutter, this made the collar super soft and cuddly. Once the collar got to 35cm, I decreased by knitting 2 together 2 times every 2nd row until I got to the last 3 stitches, and then finished off.
I also knitted both the sleeves side by side on the one set of needles (using two balls of yarn). One of the ladies I worked with was making a baby jumper one night and used this technique to make ensure the sleeves are the same exactly the same shape and length. It made it so easy! I don't know if that is something that is commonly known among knitters, but it helped me so much! I also knitted the front panels using the same technique.
As you can probably tell, I really love this pattern. Thank you so much Lion Brand!
