Juvelprydd Jacket
Juvelprydd
{you-vell-pryd; Swedish: bejewelled }
…………
With its relaxed fit, subtle colourwork edgings and curved hemline, Juvelprydd is a casually elegant jacket that is simultaneously cozy and dressy.
From the contiguous saddle shoulders, to the lateral hem, turned edgings and no-steek collar, this pattern is brimming with engaging yet intuitive techniques.
Try it in woollen-spun DK for an airy, diaphanous garment, or in an Aran-weight tweed for a firm and structured jacket.
This pattern includes a schematic with detailed measurements.
The colourwork in this pattern is charted.
Note this pattern now also includes an Appendix for working the edgings without colourwork in a way that retains the structure aesthetic intended by the design.

Construction
This jacket is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is worked back and forth flat in one piece, with contiguous saddle shoulders and scoop neckline shaping. With sleeve sts set aside on scrap yarn, the Bodice is continued top-down with optional waist shaping, then finished with a lateral rib Hem. Sleeves are picked up from live sts and worked top-down in the round. Sts are then picked up at the Neckline to work the Neckband.
