Debbie Bliss Cable Edge Jacket
What is Being Made
The Debbie Bliss Cable Edge Jacket is an advanced-level knitted cardigan designed to fit chest measurements ranging from 81-86 cm (32-34 in) through to 122-127 cm (48-50 in). The finished garment features a sophisticated cable-knit edge detail and is available in five size options. The finished chest measurements range from 107 cm (42 in) to 149 cm (58¾ in), with a back neck length varying from 53 cm (21 in) to 61 cm (24 in) depending on size. The sleeve seam is a consistent 42 cm (16½ in) across all sizes.
Techniques Used
This jacket employs several advanced knitting techniques that contribute to its sophisticated appearance and construction. The garment is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, allowing for careful shaping and detailed cable work. The construction method is bottom-up, meaning knitting begins at the lower edge and progresses upward toward the shoulders and neckline. The finished pieces are seamed together, creating clean, professional-looking joins. Cable techniques form the decorative edge detail, with specific cable crosses creating visual interest and texture throughout the design.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch structure is stocking stitch (stockinette stitch in US terminology), which creates the smooth, classic fabric base. This is complemented by cable stitches that form the distinctive edge pattern. The pattern includes cable crosses executed as C4B (slip next 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold at back of work, knit 2, then knit 2 from cable needle) and C4F (slip next 2 stitches onto cable needle and hold to front of work, knit 2, then knit 2 from cable needle). Ribbing is incorporated for structure and fit, with alternating knit and purl stitches creating the elastic, fitted sections. Additional shaping techniques include make one (m1) increases and knit two together (k2tog) decreases to achieve the tailored silhouette.
Materials and Tools
The Cable Edge Jacket is knitted using Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky yarn, a premium blend that provides both warmth and softness. The yardage requirement varies by size: 13 balls (for the smallest size 81-86 cm chest) through 19 balls (for the largest size 122-127 cm chest) of 50g/1¾oz balls in the Gold 10 colorway are needed. Two pairs of knitting needles are required: 5.5mm (US 9) needles for the ribbed edges and initial cast-on, and 6mm (US 10) needles for the main body fabric. A cable needle is essential for executing the cable crosses that form the jacket's signature edge detail. The recommended tension is 15 stitches and 22 rows to a 10 cm (4 in) square measured over stocking stitch using the 6mm (US 10) needles, ensuring proper fit and drape of the finished garment.
