{"product_id":"little-ester-jacket-petite-knit-patterns","title":"Little Ester Jacket | Petite Knit patterns","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Little Esther Jacket is worked from the top down in a textured pattern. First, the back yoke is worked back and forth and shaped with increases. Then, the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. The body is worked back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the armhole openings. At the end, front plackets are worked as well as a ribbed neck edge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size will give you the correct gauge in the textured pattern. The swatch can be worked using a chart in the pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Little Esther Jacket is designed to have approx. 20 cm [7¾ inches] of positive ease. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) 12-14 years are designed to fit a chest circumference of approx. 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (78) 82 cm [20¾ (21¼) 22 (22½) 23¼ (24½) 25¼ (26¾) 28¼ (30¾) 32¼ inches]. The measurements for the finished jacket can be found on the front page of the pattern (please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained). If the intended wearer measures 56 cm [22 inches] around the chest, you should knit a size 3-4 years. A size 3-4 years jacket has a chest circumference of 74 cm [29¼ inches] which in the given example would give the intended wearer 18 cm [7 inches] of positive ease. If the measured chest circumference deviates from the age guide, you can adjust the length to fit the person you’re knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter or taller than average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-12) 12-14 years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 (74) 74 (80) 80 (84) 88 (92) 92 (96) 100 cm [27½ (29¼) 29¼ (31½) 31½ (33) 34¾ (36¼) 36¼ (37¾) 39¼ inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e36 (38) 42 (43) 45 (48) 49 (50) 52 (54) 55 cm [14¼ (15) 16½ (17) 17¾ (19) 19¼ (19¾) 20½ (21¼) 21¾ inches] (measured mid back)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003c\/strong\u003e18 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in texture pattern on a 4 mm [US6] needle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circular needles: 4 mm [US6] \/ 60 or 80 cm [24 or 32 inches] and 3.5 mm [US4] \/ 40, 60 and\/or 80 cm [16, 24 and\/or 32 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4] and 4 mm [US6]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200 (200) 200 (250) 250 (300) 300 (300) 350 (350) 400 g DK (approx. 50 g = 125 m [137 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eheld together with\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 (50) 75 (75) 75 (100) 100\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cchrome_annotation role=\"link\"\u003e(100) 100-125\u003c\/chrome_annotation\u003e (125) 125 g Silk Mohair (approx. 25 g = 212 m [232 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 buttons (Ø = 20 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pattern was developed as a part of Little Isager Archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58225889673547,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9285\/8699\/files\/IMG-3013.png?v=1787408667","url":"https:\/\/manchesterwoolandyarn.com\/products\/little-ester-jacket-petite-knit-patterns","provider":"Manchester Wool \u0026 Yarn ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
