Instructions

Step 1: Cast on

Using the long-tail cast-on method, cast on 140 stitches. Join the ends together, being careful not to twist the stitches. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.

Step 2: Knit the Ribbing

Using a knit 1, purl 1 (k1, p1) rib stitch, knit for 2 inches. This will create the ribbing at the bottom of the jacket.

Repeat this pattern until you reach the end of the round.

Repeat this pattern for 15 inches to create the body of the jacket.

Step 4: Knit the Sleeves

Using a separate set of size 8 circular needles, cast on 30 stitches. Knit for 2 inches using the k1, p1 rib stitch. Switch to the tulip and chain pattern and repeat until the sleeve measures 16 inches. Bind off the stitches. Repeat this process to create the second sleeve.

Step 5: Join the Sleeves and Body

Using the circular needles, join the sleeves and the body of the jacket together. Knit in the tulip and chain pattern until the jacket measures 28 inches.

Step 6: Knit the Collar

Using the k1, p1 rib stitch, knit for 2 inches to create the collar of the jacket. Bind off the stitches.
