• The Manon Jacket is worked in a moss stitch pattern back and forth from the top down. It begins with the back, while simultaneously shaping the shoulder slopes using German Short Rows. Afterward, stitches are picked up to work the right and left fronts. Once all the parts are complete, stitches are picked up along the shoulder sections, and the knitting is joined to work down to the armholes, with increases for the front sections, back, and sleeves. Next, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body is worked downwards. Stitches are then picked up along the armholes to work the sleeves in the round. Following this, stitches are picked up along the neck edge, and the neckline is worked in 1x1 rib. Next, stitches are picked up for the edges, which are knitted in double knitting. Finally, two faux pockets are knitted and sewn into place.

Sizes:
XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL
The Manon Jacket has a regular fit and is designed to have approx. 5-10 cm 2-4 in of positive ease. This means the garment’s measurements will be approx. 5-10 cm 2-4 in larger than your actual bust circumference. The sizes XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 / 85-90 / 90-95 / 95-100 / 100-110 / 110-120 / 120-130 cm 31½-33½ / 33½-35½ / 35½-37½ / 37½-39½ / 39½-43¼ / 43¼-47¼ / 47¼-51 ¼ in.

Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm 36½ in, you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the jacket to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.
