Rico 781 Jacket

Rico 781 Jacket - Inspiration

Through the Eyes of a Machine Knitter

Although knit-able on the machine, you may choose to combine hand and machine knitting for this one.

  • No ribbing at the cuffs, continue the cable stitch pattern

  • The split band/collar might allow for knitting them on them machine (depending on your jacket length and gauge)

  • Dropped shoulders for comfort

  • Add practical patch pockets

The original chunky yarn (14sts x 19 rows = 4') is too bulky for even our 9mm machines, but there are many self-striping yarns available to make it your own!
