Chelsea Jacket – Knitting Pattern – PDF

A jacket of discrete and enduring elegance: classic silhouette, seamless construction, and those short rows that make all the difference.

Chelsea is a boxy jacket with three-quarter sleeves, worked flat, top down, seamlessly with the contiguous shoulder construction. Short rows shape the chest and body for a tailored fit on every figure. The collar, cuffs and hem are folded for a clean, polished finish. As mohair can be itchy near the neck, the collar is worked in Aran weight only.

The pattern comes in 7 sizes, from XS to 3XL. Direct links to video tutorials for special techniques are included.
