What you’ll make: A hip-length Aran-weight jacket with straight body, set-in sleeves, ribbed edges, stand collar, colour-blocked accent rows (every 27–28th rows in contrast), and a 4-button front.

To fit bust 77–82 (87–92; 97–102) cm with easy fit; finished bust approx 105 (120; 132) cm; back length approx 50 (52; 53) cm; sleeve length approx 45 (46; 46) cm.

Yarn: Aran (10-ply/Worsted) weight yarn that achieves pattern gauge; main shade plus a small amount of contrast for the two knit rows in each repeat (or add vertical accents later with duplicate stitch).

Needles & notions: 3.75 mm and 4.5 mm knitting needles; 4 buttons; stitch markers; tapestry needle; blocking tools.

Tension (gauge): 18 sts × 25 rows = 10 cm in stocking stitch on 4.5 mm needles; adjust needle size to match.

Yarn Suggestions: UK — Rowan Kid Classic (Aran); Sirdar Hayfield Bonus Aran. US/Canada — Cascade 220 (Worsted); Lion Brand Wool-Ease (Worsted); Patons Classic Wool Worsted. Antipodean — Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 10-ply.

Construction notes: Pieces are worked flat: back and fronts in stocking stitch with 2-row contrast stripes every 28-row repeat; rib trims on smaller needles; fronts shaped with regular edge decreases; shoulders cast off; sleeves shaped with steady increases and set in; separate rib button bands added (right band with spaced buttonholes); collar worked in rib and sewn on; optional vertical accents may be swiss-darned after seaming.

Skill level: Confident beginner to intermediate (neat colour changes, shaping, rib finishing, bands and collar).
