I have always loved to create hand knitted blazers, stepping away from the everyday cardigan. This story started with the Bee Bee Jacket, knitted in four main colours colours and two highlight colours, and it's about how small a proportion of colour can be used with 3 row stripes and bobbles.
All my designs have multiplie chest sizes and with my blazers two length options.
The Stitched Up jacket - I popped a small pocket - though it looks like a patchwork pocket it is actually knitted with the front, gives a far superior finish.
In both design the Basket Stitch buttonband is knitted as one with the body of the garment (knitted hem up and back and front pieces). Colours are worked from a diagram - there are no graphs for these blazers.
Knitting kits include Signatur 8ply, pattern and hand made buttons.
I have popped an image in of the collar, after the shoulder cast off the remaining stitches form the collar, the basket stitch continues in length to a three needle bind off at the back neck.

I brought swingcoats into my range in the 1990's, styled to fit at the shoulder and swing over the hips. The body is knitted with three different needle sizing, knitted in Signatur 8ply with 21sts to 10cm/4"on 4mm ndls. I write the instructions for the sleeves first - to double check your tension and also allow you to work the stitch pattern or colour technique over a fewer number of stitches. Then to add swing and drape the body (knitted hem up) is cast on with 4.5mm ndls, as the body is shaped with decreases per panel (between cables) the needles are deceased a size, and after the armhole shaping the needles reduce to 3.75mm - a firmer tension to support the weight of the garment. Simple really!
Designs are Diamond Cable Swing, the side seam hidden by the pattern with round neck and Shawl collar options in the pattern. The Fan and Cable Swing, which is round neck only, but is available with a shawl collar in a dress coat style shown in blue. The Tudor Swagger has the Autumn leaves, this is a more generous fit the than Diamond and is still fitted at the shoulder but is fuller across the shoulders. Lastly the Times cable Swing in Blues, styed generous as the Times Swing.
