That looks so cozy. I’m imagining it in a sweatshirt-knit.

Not a cut I’d normally go for, but I’ve been sold by Kitzler’s versions of this one…
Also, I hate to bring up the model-size debate again, but I have to say, this girl is deadly thin — can you please refrain from using unhealthy looking models?? It scares me when knees are wider than thighs.

The back band for size 40 measures 35" and is supposed to be cut on the fold (which is 70") but the fabric is only 60." Did I miss measure something?

Does this really require 3 yards? That seems like a lot… I’ve got 2 yds at home of the perfect sweater knit for this! If you’ve made this sweater, can you please post and advise…

Yes, it really does require 3 yds. I tried to cut mine today with 2 and the 2 yards was only enough for the neck, cuff and lower back piece. It’s the way they are cut along the grain that makes them take up so much fabric.

floatingworld…to get a good idea of how the front looks without the belt, click on “Instructions” at the top of the big photo. It shows a drawing of the jacket, and the pattern pieces. It helped me to see what this pattern is really like. This looks very comfy and cozy. I also like the idea of bands on the sleeves…very easy way to lengthen the sleeves, if needed.

This looks great, but it would be great to have some photos without the belt, because it makes it hard to see how the front drapes.

Very nice!I am afraid of such bulky knits because of the stretch but this makes them look effortless. I really like this!!!
