Juicy Jacket Knitting Pattern (English)

Juicy Jacket is an oversized model worked in boucle (yarn A) with trims in double knit stitch in 3 strands of merino held together with 3 strands of mohair (yarn B), which both gives a perfect contrast and a nice hold. 


Starting on the neck, the back piece is worked back and forth while at the same time working increases in each side shaping the slanting shoulder seam. When the back piece reaches the correct width, continue straight down to the bottom of the armhole. Next stitches are knit up along each shoulder seam, and the front pieces are worked back and forth while at the same time working increases towards the neckline shaping the v-neck. Continue straight down until the bottom of the armhole. Now the front and back are joined and worked back and forth. The bottom trim is worked in double knit stitch in yarn B. Furthermore a placket is worked on each side from the bottom and up, working increases along the v-neck shaping the collar which can both work as a turtleneck (when buttoned) and a polo collar (when unbuttoned). 

The sleeves are worked in the round while at the same time working decreases. The sleeve is finished with a double layered Stockinette trim.
