Kina – The Jacket

The coat is long and falls straight, so it suits slim trousers and a simple top underneath. Button the top button and leave the rest open, or button both and let the coat sit close to the neck on cold days. The cuff buttons let you fold the sleeves up without them slipping down again.

• A long coat that is warm without being heavy
• A garment where the texture carries the design, not colour changes
• To try popcorns and half fisherman's rib in the same project
• Puff sleeves with a clear shape
• A pattern where each size has its own numbers

• Digital knitting pattern (PDF) in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English and German
• Mobile format with one step per page and tick-boxes you can save

• Five sizes, XS to XL, with separate numbers for each size
• A4 print section with all sizes and a notes page at the back

The Coloratura series is about colour. Kina turns that around: one colour all the way, so the texture has to carry the garment alone. The popcorn row gives weight at the bottom, the half fisherman's rib gives the sleeves volume, and the garter ridges in the body keep the rest calm. The name comes from the Coldplay song Coloratura.

Coloratura is CosyMonday's colourful series, where strong colour combinations and playful details take centre stage. The designs are made for you who want to stand out in a garment full of personality.

14 stitches × 24 rows garter stitch = 10 × 10 cm on needle 7 mm with two strands.

The half fisherman's rib in the sleeves is denser: 20 rounds = 10 cm.

The coat is knitted in one piece bottom-up, back and forth on a circular needle. The garter edge is finished with a popcorn row that goes all the way around, and then the body continues in garter stitch to the armholes. The sleeves are knitted separately in half fisherman's rib from the cuff up, and joined to the body on one needle. The raglan is decreased only on the body, so the sleeves keep their width – that is what gives the puff when the sleeve is halved twice at the top. Finally the neck is knitted in ribbing, and buttons and loops are added.
