When I first saw the Cozy Cubes Jacket by Hinterm Stein I thought it didn’t look handmade. In this case that’s a compliment, though I don’t know that it always would be. When it comes to this jacket what I mean is that the details are so great and it’s so well done that it looks like it could have been cut and tailored from fabric rather than knit by hand.
This is such a classic piece that you’re sure to want to wear it all the time, so you can add to the classic feel by stitching it up in a neutral color like Hinterm did, or change it up for something bold or your favorite color.
The pattern calls for either a worsted weight yarn or a lighter yarn held together with a strand of mohair, which would just amplify the irresistible nature of this garment.
It’s worked in one piece from the top down and has a subtle cube pattern made with knits and purls. The vent in the back that’s closed with buttons adds to the tailored look, as does the collar.
The pattern is available in nine sizes from a chest measurement of 32 inches (81 cm) to 60 inches (152.5 cm) and offers in-between sizing information up to a 64 inch chest (162.5 cm). There are also two length options, a sort of standard sweater or jacket length and a longer coat option.
You can get the pattern in English and German on Ravelry.
Hinterm makes awesome knit jacket patterns, which you can also see in the Ripple Jacket pattern. The shape of that one is really great, too, but it’s a different look from Cozy Cubes. If you love her designs, I’ve also shared the summer gansey, a great henley style top with decorative purl ridges.
