The men's shawl collar jacket from Martin Storey is knitted with medium-weight yarn in a textured knitting pattern that folds into geometric square shapes. Designers from Rowan offered a classic style with raglan sleeves and a shawl collar.
The combination of rough yarn, textured knitted fabric and a clear straight silhouette gives the jacket a style characteristic of strong men.
The description offers 8 jacket options in sizes XXS-XS - S-M-L-XL-XXL-2XL. Accordingly, their chest circumference will be 91-97-102-107-112-117-122-127 cm.
Author's choice of yarn - Rowan Hemp Tweed Chunky (100 g/110 m). This is a modern find when plant fibers are added to the wool thread. IN in this case This is a hemp increase, and it is very significant - 25%; the remaining 75% comes from sheep's wool.
Hemp prevents the product from stretching, gives it strength and extends the period of effective wear. The product turns out warm, good quality, with an interesting tweed effect. Yarn consumption is expected to be in the range of 8-9-10-11-11-12-12-13 skeins.
Tools - circular knitting needles, 6 mm, for elastic and collar - 5½ mm. Button closure, you need to prepare 5 of them.
To work out the required density, we will knit a sample with a shadow pattern, and at the same time we will understand it until it is completely clear:
6 mm needles - 24 straight rows (spr) of 15 stitches (st) should give a square of 10 x 10 cm.
Description
The jacket consists of 5 parts, each of them is knitted separately.
Pattern
Pattern diagram
Since the sleeve is raglan, the decreases for the armhole are carried out due to the raglan lines.
The collar, together with the front panels, is knitted at the assembly stage.
All border elastic bands and the collar with straps are knitted with narrower needles, 5½ mm; The body of the jacket with a shadow pattern will be made on basic knitting needles, 6 mm thick.
The squares marked black dot, denote knit stitches (lcpt) in the purl row (IR), and purl stitches (izpt) in the front row (LR).
The diagram shows in one picture how to place the pattern for all parts of the jacket. There is also a gradation in size. Having chosen the option that you need, carefully monitor it when knitting the back, front panels and sleeves.
Back
We will start it with an elastic band, from the bottom. Take knitting needles 5½ mm, cast on 70 pt.
We knit a strip of 8 cm with a 2x2 elastic band (2 lts; 2 izpts). In the final row of elastic we add 0 pts = 70 pts on the sides of the fabric.
Having finished with the elastic, we change the knitting needles to the main ones (6 mm) and perform 2 stitches in stockinette stitch (k/s), after which we proceed to the shadow pattern.
Having knitted straight up to 34 cm from the edge, we come to the lower end of the armholes.
Sd.prr: close 3 pt; Let's continue following the drawing until the end of the project.
Sld.prr: Let's do the same.
Now let's change the nature of the decrease in pt. We will decrease by 1 pt on the sides of the canvas, while retreating from the very edge by 2 pt:
Decreasing 1 pt at the beginning of the stitch is done by pulling PRT = (we will remove 1 pt, without knitting, to the front one; perform 1 ltst and pull it through the removed stitch);
We decrease 1 pt at the end of the stitch by knitting 2 pts together with one knit stitch.
Sld.prr (IR): we perform 3 izpt at the beginning and at the end of the prr, we do not change the pattern inside, we subtract 1 pt each, as described.
We repeat such prr with decreases in this order:
4 times, in every 4th prr = 54 pt;
Then we begin to decrease twice as often, in every 2nd stitch, waiting until there are 20 stitches on the needles. Let's put them aside, these are the stitches of the neckline for the back.
Left shelf
Let's start it from the bottom too, with an elastic band. Let's take thinner knitting needles, 5½ mm, cast on 35 pt.
We knit a 2x2 strip of 8 cm with an elastic band. Make sure that at the end of the first prr (LR) there are 3 lcpt, and at the beginning of the second (IR) - 1 lcpt; 2 izpt.
In the last row of the strip knitted with an elastic band, we align the number of stitches for the pattern to 35 and change the knitting needles to basic ones, 6 mm. Then we knit it like a back, all the way to the armhole. We make decreases for raglan in the same way, only for one side.
By decreasing 30 pt on the knitting needles, we will take care of the neckline. Let's start decreasing 1 pt from the side opposite the raglan, according to this pattern.
Sld.prr (LR):
Subtract 1 pt a total of 8 times, in every 4th row;
At the same time, we decrease 1 pt in the raglan line, on the other side:
3 times, in every 4th prr;
12 times, in every 2nd prr.
Sld.prr (LR): 2 lcpt; PRT.
Sld.prr (IR): 3 izpt.
Sld.prr: 1 lcpt; PRT.
Sld.prr: 1 izpt.
Sl.prr: knit 2 stitches together, this will be the last stitch.
Cut the thread and fasten it.
The right front is knitted absolutely symmetrically.
Sleeve, 2 parts
Let's start from the bottom, with the same elastic band. Take knitting needles 5½ mm, cast on 34 pt.
We knit a 2x2 strip of 8 cm with an elastic band. In the last, 8th stitch, add 0 pt on the sides, after that we change the needles to the main ones, 6 mm.
Let's knit 2 stitches with the knit/ch pattern. Then we move on to the shadow pattern, starting it, as shown in the diagram, from the 7th row. We will repeat the rt rapport of 24 rows along the entire sleeve.
We perform this operation of additions in every 6th row, counting stitches on the knitting needles.
When their number is equal to 38, we will begin to add less frequently, in every 8th row, until the number of sts on the needles is 52.
Having reached a height of 41 cm from the edge of the initial one, we begin to decrease pt.
Sd.prr: 3 pt close; we will tie it to the end according to the drawing.
1 time in the 3rd prr;
Then in every 4th stitch until we see 32 stitches on the needles;
Then in every 2nd stitch, until we see only 10 stitches on the needles.
Only for left sleeve
Sd LR: decrease 1 pt along the edges of the canvas.
Sd LR: close 3 pt; knit the remaining 5 stitches.
2 lcpt; Slip off 1 st and knit it like a knit stitch;
We knit 2 stitches together and stretch the received stitch through the removed stitch.
Sd prr: knit 2 sts together purlwise; 1 izpt.
Only for right sleeve
Sd.prr: close 2 pt; knit according to the pattern; subtract 1 pt at the end of the row.
Sld.prr: knit according to the pattern; subtract 1 pt at the end of the row.
Sl.prr: 3 pts knitted together with one knit stitch; 2 lcpt.
Sld.prr: 1 izpt; We knit 2 stitches together purlwise, catching the back walls.
For left and right sleeves
Sld.prr: knit 2 stitches together, secure the last stitch.
Assembly
Let's walk along the lines of the raglan and make all the necessary seams. Now we will connect the shelves together with the collar.
Let's take 5½ mm knitting needles, turn the fabric to the right side and gradually raise stitches, walking along the edge of the shelves, starting from the bottom, along the back neck line, including the postponed stitches, and further, down the second shelf = 210 sts.
Starting from the 2nd row, we knit a strip of 2x2 elastic, as for the back. Then we knit like this.
1st prr (LR):
Knit with an elastic band 2x2 120 pt;
Let’s turn it around and make 1 yarn over on the right needle (we will do it at every turn; to avoid getting a hole in this place, you will have to knit the yarn over together with the stitch that follows it).
2nd prr: knit with a 30 pt elastic band, turn.
3rd prr: knit with a 32 pt elastic band, turn.
Let's continue by analogy, each time adding 2 stitches more to the working needles than the previous time. Finally, we get 94 pt in the work.
Sld.prr: let's turn the knitting, in the 35th row we will knit with an elastic band until the end.
It's time to create buttonholes.
We knit with a 2x2 elastic band up to 58 pts in the remainder;
- * close 2 pt; knit with an elastic band of 11 pt *; execute *-* 3 more times;
Close 2 pt; Let's finish pr.
In sld.prr we will perform 2 pt new stitches over closed loops, restoring order.
Let's tie 2 prr with a 2x2 elastic band.
Let's close the pt according to the drawing.
All that remains is to complete the side and sleeve seams.
