EP0826
Horizontal ribs paired with lighter, open lacework create the flattering texture of this jacket. The sewn seams on one side and picot edging on the other help to keep the ribbed centers from growing too much in length during wear. The four-row lace pattern is easily memorized and progresses quickly.
Finished Size: 36 (40, 44, 48)" bust circumference, with fronts meeting. Jacket shown measures 40".
Yarn: Louet Euroflax Sportweight (100% linen; 270 yd [240 m]/ 3 1/2 oz [100 g]): grape, 6 (7, 7, 8) skeins.
Yarn weight: Light
Gauge: 20 sts and 12 rows = 4" in hdc rib. Note: Rib can be difficult to measure-measure gauge with piece lying on flat surface without stretching. 20 dc = 4" in lace patt; one 4-row rep of lace patt = 1 1/2".
Needles: Hooks: Size F/5 (4 mm). Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
