Debbie Bliss Ribbed Waterfall Jacket
What is Being Made
The Ribbed Waterfall Jacket is a knitted cardigan-style jacket designed to fit chest sizes ranging from 81-127 cm (32-50 inches). This intermediate-level knitting project features a sophisticated waterfall front design paired with textured ribbing throughout. The finished jacket offers length to shoulder measurements from 50-58 cm (19¾-22¾ inches), with consistent sleeve length of 42 cm (16½ inches) when the cuff is turned back. The garment is available in five size options to accommodate various body measurements.
Techniques Used
This jacket is constructed using a bottom-up, seamed, and worked-flat approach. The pattern is worked in separate pieces—back, fronts, and sleeves—on flat needles before being sewn together. This traditional construction method allows for precise shaping at the shoulders and provides excellent control over the garment's fit and drape. The waterfall element is created through strategic shaping and the placement of stitches, while the seamed construction ensures clean, professional finishing.
Stitches Used
The primary stitch pattern throughout the Ribbed Waterfall Jacket is moss stitch rib, also known as seed stitch rib. This textured pattern combines knit and purl stitches in alternating sequences to create visual interest and dimensional texture. The moss stitch rib pattern is established over 2 rows and repeated throughout the body and sleeves, creating a consistent, professional appearance across the entire garment. This stitch pattern provides both elasticity and structure, making it ideal for a jacket that requires shape retention.
Materials and Tools
The Debbie Bliss Ribbed Waterfall Jacket is designed to be worked in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky, a premium yarn blend. Yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from 20 to 28 balls of 50g (1¾ oz) per ball, with the pattern featuring Silver 05 as the specified colorway. Knitters will need two pairs of needles: 5mm (US 8) knitting needles for ribbed edgings and 5.5mm (US 9) knitting needles for the main fabric. A 5.5mm (US 9) circular needle is also required for certain construction steps. The recommended tension is 20 stitches and 23 rows to 10 cm (4 inches) over moss stitch rib pattern using the 5.5mm needles, ensuring proper fit and drape of the finished garment.
