Noro Jacket Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Noro Jacket: A Seamed Knit Cardigan

What Is Being Made

The Noro Jacket is a cardigan-style coat designed by Jenny Watson and featured in Book 3 by Noro Design. This knitted jacket is constructed as a wearable layer piece, combining classic cardigan structure with the distinctive aesthetic of Noro yarns.

Construction Method

This jacket is worked using a bottom-up construction technique, meaning the knitter begins at the lower edge and works upward toward the shoulders and neckline. The garment is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, creating individual pieces that are later joined together. The separate pieces are then seamed together using mattress stitch or similar joining techniques to create the finished jacket.

Knitting Techniques and Stitches

While specific stitch details are referenced in the pattern guidelines, the Noro Jacket employs fundamental knitting stitches and techniques typical of cardigan construction. The pattern includes measurements and gauge information to ensure proper fit and finished dimensions. Knitters should pay careful attention to gauge swatching before beginning, as accurate gauge is essential for achieving the intended measurements and drape of the finished garment.

Materials

This pattern is designed to be worked with Noro yarn, which is known for its distinctive multicolor variegated properties and unique fiber blends. Knitters will need appropriately sized needles for their chosen Noro yarn weight, as specified in the pattern instructions. The exact yarn quantity and needle size are detailed within the downloadable PDF pattern.
