I’ve got the pattern writing bug real bad. So bad, in fact, that I’m getting another collection of patterns together for another ebook. It is much sillier, however, knitting winter-wear in summer than it is knitting summer-wear in winter.

Granny Bomber Jacket

So, there is this jacket I knit! It has a bomber jacket shape – cropped, cinched waist, long sleeves, wide chest, exaggerated armholes, pop collar.

Seed Stitch Bands and Boxes

The stitch pattern is out of control! Twisted ribs around seed stitch brown boxes, with a seed stitch bottom band and collar.

Buttons!

The jacket has a crochet button band and, of course, fabric buttons. I used this fun black, white, and gray checkered pattern for mine.

Yikes

I’m not too awesome at color changing. My sweater looked like this, mostly, in progress.

Ohh It's HOTT Finished!

But all that is forgotten once it’s finished and looks so hot!

Test knitter found! Karin of iKnit2Purl2 will be tackling this one for me. Can’t wait to see it! I’m looking for a test knitter! Because this jacket is not fitted there are only two sizes – S/M and L/XL. The jacket I’m wearing is the size S/M. Interested in testing this pattern out for me? Let me know!

Pattern: My own, coming soon!
