Amadeus

Amadeus was named for the ‘Mozart for Morning Coffee’ album I was listening to when I drew up the original sketch. :) I wanted a quick-to-knit, go-with-anything cabled jacket that was machine washable. It is knit in flat pieces and seamed, with a slight a-line and a wide collar. It works up quickly in 12 ply on US 10 (6mm) needles.

Amadeus features options! 3/4 or long slimline sleeves, long or short body lengths, closed with a button or clasp or left open, or could also be belted. The pattern comes in four sizes, small through to extra large (30” - 42” chest).

The collar is knit along with the front pieces, extended around the back neck and bound off with a three-needle bind off. It could also be grafted. No extra finishing is required - the nine-stitch plait makes an in-built neat front edge and there are no stitches to pick up!

You will need to know how to work from cable charts, as collar is CHARTED ONLY.
