Crucci Pattern 2504 Jacket with Pockets 12ply

The Crucci Jacket with Pockets is a cosy, oversized cardigan-style jacket knitted in Crucci Aella 12 ply. It has a relaxed boxy shape, long sleeves, button front, ribbed edges, and practical front pockets.

This is the sort of handmade layer that earns its keep. Easy to throw over jeans, dresses, or a long-sleeve top, it gives you that lovely warm cardigan feeling but with a bit more structure. The pockets make it extra practical too, which we always appreciate. Hands, phone, stitch markers you forgot were in there three weeks later. All welcome.

The pattern is listed as intermediate, and this one does have a few more moving parts than a simple vest. It includes garment shaping, pockets, sleeves, button bands, and finishing, so it’s a good project for a confident knitter who is ready for a proper wearable garment. Sizing
