Description
This is a great men’s zip-up jacket pattern with a stand-up rib collar, raglan sleeves, and pockets. For ours, instead of using tried-and-true sweatshirt fabric to make the basic zip-up we see all the time, we decided on a decadent cable knit with contrasting ribbing, putting a classic spin on a modern staple. Whatever fabrication you decide on, whomever zips up in this cozy creation will surely be pleased!
Material Notes
knit, rib knit, 26" zipper

This is awesome. I just happened to find two XXL Men’s sweaters at the thrift shop last month that I intended to felt, including a very soft angora/wool blend with an argyle pattern – perfect for this!

Why not rescue a gently-loved oversized sweater from second hand, then cut your appropriately-sized pattern pieces from it?

Does anyone know where you can get good quality knit? I am not a knitter. Gorgeous pics. Oh to be young again…..

Wow, beautiful.
My Great-Grandmother did something similar for her farming family. She made zip-up vests and lined jackets with the worn hand-knit sweaters. She even took pieces of various men’s sweaters and re-cut them for the kids. The family stories report some pretty wild combinations! But one and all loved the mitts and leggings sown out of old felted wool sweaters.
Thanks Burda!

Oh, and I forgot to say ‘Thank you Burda’ for slipping in the odd man’s pattern!

Mmmm… very tasty… AND the pattern’s nice as well (!)
Now I just need to find some dear old lady to knit me up some fabric…!

Looks like I’ll be haunting thrift shops for some sweaters to chop up for this, only I am thinking V neck with the thick ribbing so it does a kind of shawl collar.
While the boy is young enough to be my son, he is adorable! You are some very lucky girls.

I’m like everyone else on here and definitely think you should share your source for that comfy textile! I haven’t seen anything like it at all here in the South.
Also:
What a cutie! Props to Burda for consistently adorable boys.

Burdastyle! Can you please let us know where you got the fabric for these two knit sweaters? They’re beautiful but for the life of me I have NO idea where you found such beautiful knits!

This is really nice! Where do you find such incredible knit fabrics?
Oct 27, 2008, 05.00 PMby Mivali
AWESOME! THANK YOU, BurdaStyle!!! Hopefully I’ll be able to make this soon!

looks great, even if I think the black-white contrast is too much with the knitted plait pattern. Thanks a lot!

i really like it!! and i’m hoping the size of the jacket is bigger than the real model size, because i like fitted clothes for my boyfriend and he is thin. thanks for the FREE patern!!!

It looks really great, but I’m not sure if my boyfriend would wear it.
btw.: the 4th picture made me melt :D
