Special Notes

Step-by-Step Pattern
1. Foundation Yoke (Top-down)
For L-XL, 55cm Neck as Sample:
- Neck (start):
ch2 (stretch foundation, left front) - Left Sleeve:
[ch4, dc in last ch]*1, then [ch3, dc in last ch] as many times as needed to reach 8.25cm (~7 rings, must be odd) - Back:
ch2 (stretch),
[ch4, dc]*1, [ch3, dc] to make 19cm (~19 rings, must be odd) - Right Sleeve:
ch2 (stretch), [ch4, dc]*1, [ch3, dc] to reach 8.25cm (~7 rings, must be odd) - Final Stretch:
ch2.
Check measurements for your size; for 2XL, reference the black sample (smaller neck opening but same approach).
2. Yoke Pattern
First Pattern Row
- Turn, ch3 (counts as dc). 2 dc into first ring.
- [For each ring except stretch points:]
ch4, 5 dc in next ring
(repeat for each subsequent ring) - [At each stretch point:]
ch5, 5 dc in next ring
(Use stitch markers here to indicate raglan points) - End: On last chain space, ch5, 3 dc in last chain.
- Mark all the ch5/shell spaces—they are your raglan increases.
Second Pattern Row (Fan Rows)
- Ch1, turn. Sc in first st.
- ch2, then in next shell space, work [(2 dc, ch2, 3 dc, ch2, 2 dc)] for stretches, or [(2 dc, ch2, 2 dc)] for regular.
Always sc between shells with ch2 spacers. - Continue, ending with sc in last st.
Third Pattern Row (Shells Again)
- Ch4 (counts as tr), turn. ch2.
- 5 dc in each ch2 space between fans (between dc2 and dc3 in large fans).
- For stretches: ch5 between shells.
- For others: ch4 between shells.
- End with ch2, tr in last st.
Fourth Pattern Row (Repeat of Fan)
- Ch4, turn.
- [(2 dc, ch2, 2 dc)] in each shell, or [(2 dc, ch2, 3 dc, ch2, 2 dc)] in stretch fan as before.
- sc, ch2 between each.
Repeat Rows 1-4 until yoke is deep enough to separate sleeves and body.
3. Body & Sleeve Separation
- When yoke reaches underarm (measure for your fit):
Count shell patterns from center. Put markers.
Fold work so there’s an equal number of shells for both sleeves and body, with one for each front and remainder for back. - For underarm:
ch3, dc in 3, repeat to form a short chain/”rings” under the armpit (odd number; typically 3). Attach to other side. - Continue the established pattern for the body, skipping over the sleeves. Work as long as desired (sample: 25cm from armhole).
- Finish body with shell row.
4. Button Band (Fronts)
With 2.5mm hook, join at front edge:
- Row 1: ch1, sc evenly along front edge.
- Rows 2-3: ch1, turn, sc in each st.
- Row 4 (buttonholes): Mark 5 evenly spaced buttonhole points. Work “ch4, skip 4” at those points for buttonholes instead of 4 sc.
- Rows 5-7: ch1, turn, sc in each st (fill in buttonhole spaces).
- Edge (optional): Work 1 row of slip stitch through outer loop for neat finish.
5. Neckline
- With 2.5mm hook, join at neckline, sc evenly.
- Work 7 rows of sc, distribute increases (sc2 in stretches/2ch spots, sc3 in each ring).
- Optionally, finish with a row of slip stitch through outer loop.
6. Hem
- Attach yarn at one front hem corner.
- Work [sc1, dc7 in next hole, sc1 in next, repeat] all the way around.
- At corners or for curves, adjust as needed for symmetry.
- Work a row of chains and sc as shown for straight edges.
7. Sleeves
Start at underarm center:
- Continue working in fan pattern, mirroring yoke and reducing as needed (decrease by 1 shell in each decrease row until final width).
- Aim for 7 pattern repeats long (or as desired).
- End with same shell/hem pattern as body.
8. Finishing
- Weave in all ends neatly.
- Block gently for best shape and drape.
- Sew a small square of dense sc fabric at base of button band inside if needed to prevent curling.
Conclusion
This airy top-down summer jacket is a beautiful layering piece, featuring easy sizing (just alter yoke length and number of shell patterns for size). Buttons and bands allow flexible styling. The shell/fan pattern is both beginner-friendly and visually elegant. Sleeves and hem can be customized to desired length.
Pattern Correction & Tips
- Tips:
- Use stitch markers at every “vibration/stretch” (raglan) point.
- Adjust “odd number” of rings for symmetry.
- Block your swatch for accurate sizing.
- If sleeves are too wide, decrease more aggressively across decrease rows.
- Work buttonholes on 4th row for easy fit with 18mm buttons.
- Add a backing square to button band to prevent curling/bending.
- Correction:
- The first transcript references both white (L-XL, wider neck) and black (2XL, narrower neck); adjust chain counts as needed to match your own measurements.
- Always use odd numbers of rings for consistency in the pattern repeats.
- Double-check your measurements before splitting for sleeves and body.
- Final Tip:
Carefully count your shells and try on as you go—customizing is easy with this modular construction.
