#422 The J. J. Jacket
WEB EXCLUSIVE
First there was the Baby 'J', which was a monster hit and inspired the Junior 'J', and the ongoing mad popularity of those pieces demanded the appearance of this adult version. It is just a remarkable piece, and a fantastic pattern, full of interest and possibilities and customization tips. We think this will become as iconic as Sally Melville's Einstein Coat: it's got that kind of wonderful knitterly logic to it, it's gorgeous, it suits any kind of yarn, and... there's only the tiniest bit of sewing. A marvel.

Hi Lost In Yarn,
The way it's written is correct.
It works like this:
Work Rows 1 & 2 as written. This gives you 1 garter stitch ridge on the collar.
Then work Row 2, 4 more times. It takes 2 knit rows to give you one more ridge on the Right Side. Row 2 is essentially a knit row so working 4 more knit rows will give you 2 more ridges showing on the Right Side.
These 6 rows will give you 3 ridges showing on the Right Side of the Collar. Always count the ridges on the Right Side of the fabric.
Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to email me at deb.cabinfever@gmail.com if you have any more questions.

Have there been any corrections for this pattern?
Just finishing up the collar portion and think I may need to repeat row number two 3 times rather than the 5 times which is published. This way I believe my ridge count will coincide with the numbers currently stated.

Thank you..........all was well until I approached the 3rd buttonhole,that was when I ended up with the extra ridge.
Made Huggie Bear for my grandson (before update), I love it........made me look like an expert knitter. I used a washable cotton yarn by Cascade in blue with Peter Rabbit buttons.
Thank you for great patterns,
Charlene C.
