Introducing a sophisticated longline knit jacket pattern, featuring a flattering, subtly fitted silhouette, distinctive front and back yokes, and a chic draped stand collar, all secured with a central separating zipper.
This versatile knit jacket is an excellent choice for a variety of occasions, offering both style and comfort:
Silhouette: a longline cut with a relaxed, subtly fitted shape that skims the body, tapering gently to a unique high-low hem.
Neckline / Collar: a generously sized stand collar designed to drape softly when open, or stand upright for warmth, offering a modern aesthetic.
Closure: a full-length separating zipper elegantly runs down the center front, providing easy wear and a clean, contemporary finish.
Sleeves: Long, straight set-in sleeves offer comfortable coverage and a clean arm line.
Yokes: Distinctive horizontal yokes across both the front and back shoulders provide structural interest and a tailored feel.
Hem: a modern high-low hemline, gracefully curved and extending longer at the back, adds a contemporary and dynamic touch.
Intermediate. Requires familiarity with knit fabric construction, precise installation of a separating zipper, and accurate alignment of yoke seams.
Choose stable knit fabrics with a low degree of stretch to ensure the jacket maintains its intended shape and drape:
If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: All seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.
