Knitted Fur Jacket 6

Fur Jacket: 

Hi friends,
This is again a different type of wool I saw in Samrat, shop at Pune. I even didn't know how to knit with this? still I bought them as I love their texture and colors too.
When I think to experiment with the new yarn, I CO 10 sts with 5 mm needle. Work all rows knit and what a wonder it looks good! Moreover the sts are so invisible, whether you knit or purl, it cannot be recognized. But it looks great!
Yes! I decided to work simple jacket.


Considering the thickness of the yarn, I know that the number of stitches to be cast on should be much less than usual.  So first I check the gauge and then decided the number of stitches to be cast on.

Size of the jacket: length 15", width 13" and arm hole 6".
Material: Golden color yarn 100 gm, knitting needle 5 mm, tapestry needle, 2 show buttons with 1" diameter
Gauge: 12 sts x 12 rows makes 4" x 4"
Instructions: 
Back side: CO 36 sts
(WS) all knit
(RS) all knit
Next row is WS to recognize RS put a plastic pin on RS.                  Work all knit on both RS and WS till the height is 9"

Bind off 3 sts at the starting of Rs and WS both then bind off 1 st      again on both RS and WS. Now there are 28 sts.
Go on knitting both sides till the height is 14.5".
Work only 10 sts for shoulder for 2 rows. Keep these sts on holder. Bind off middle 8 sts. Then again work two rows of remaining 10 sts for other shoulder put them on other holder.
Right front: CO 21 sts.
(WS) all knit
(RS) all knit. Put a plastic pin on RS.
                                                 Knit all rows till the height is 9". Bind off 3 - 1 sts on WS.
Also decrease 1 st by k2tog on alternate RS till 10 sts remain. Keep them on holder.

Left side: CO 21 sts
WS: all knit
RS: YO k2tog, (for button hole) all knit. Put a plastic pin on RS.
Knit all rows with two more times YO k2tog for button hole after every 4.5". When the height is 9", bind off 3 - 1 sts on RS. Also decrease 1 st by k2tog on alternate WS till 10 sts remain. Keep them on holder.
Knit shoulders og front and back side properly with third needle method.
Sew three buttons with 1" diameter.
Jackets I have made in two more colors and size.
