Notes
• This jacket is worked top-down with raglan increases, in turned rows.
• The entire piece is worked in dc.
• Flowers are worked directly into the fabric — no sewing required.
• Approximate spacing between flowers: 5–8 dc.
• Do not place flowers directly on raglan increases — shift 1 stitch to the side.
• Keep flower placement mirrored on both sides of the jacket.
⸻
Step 1: Foundation Chain
Measure your neckline circumference and add about 2 in / 5 cm for the edging.
Make a foundation chain using this formula:
6 × n + 5
Example:
47 stitches
⸻
Step 2: Raglan Setup
Subtract 4 stitches for raglan lines:
47 − 4 = 43 stitches
Distribute stitches as follows:
• Front — 30%
• Back — 40%
• Shoulders — 15% each
Example:
Front: 14 sts (7 + 7)
Back: 17 sts
Shoulders: 6 sts each
Layout:
7 – 1 – 6 – 1 – 17 – 1 – 6 – 1 – 7
⸻
Step 3: Row 1
Work dc across the entire row.
No increases.
Turn.
⸻
Step 4: Row 2
Begin raglan increases and flowers.
Pattern:
5 dc – flower – 5 dc – flower …
Place flowers in every 6th stitch (5 dc between flowers).
Do not place flowers directly on raglan increases — shift 1 stitch to the side when needed.
Work all 4 raglan increases.
Turn.
⸻
Step 5: How to Make the Flower
After working the required dc before the flower:
1. Work 5 dc
2. Ch 1
3. Insert hook into the top of the 5th dc and make sc
→ this creates a small ring
Now work 5 petals into the ring.
Petal 1 and 2
• ch 2
• 2 dc into ring
You can adjust the texture of the flower by using 1 dc (flatter look) or 2 dc (more volume).
• ch 2
• sl st into ring
Petal 3
• ch 2
• 1 dc into ring
• 1 dc into the ring from the opposite side of the center bar
• ch 2
• sl st into ring
Petal 4 and 5
Repeat Petal 1
Example: 1 dc per petal
Example: 2 dc per petal
Then continue the row.
After each flower, skip 1 stitch and continue with dc.
⸻
Step 6: Row 3
Work across in dc.
In the flower sections, work tr into the stitch of the previous-previous row (Row 1).
Work raglan increases.
Turn.
⸻
Step 7: Row 4
Flower row.
Work flowers the same way as in Row 2.
Place new flowers around the previous ones (to the left and right side).
Spacing: approximately 5–7 dc.
Keep placement mirrored on both sides.
Do not place flowers on raglan increases.
Work raglan increases.
Turn.
⸻
Step 8: Row Repeat
Continue working:
Row 5 = Row 3
Row 6 = Row 4
Row 7 = Row 3
Row 8 = Row 4
Example:
I worked 8 rows total for the yoke.
Continue repeating if you need a larger size.
The last row should be a flower row.
⸻
Step 9: Join Sleeves
Work to the raglan line.
Work a dc decrease into the center stitch of the raglan increase.
Skip the sleeve stitches.
Work the second part of the decrease into the next raglan increase.
Repeat for the second sleeve.
⸻
Step 10: Body
Continue working in pattern:
1 row with flowers
1 row without flowers
In the first body flower row, leave the underarm area without flowers.
Distribute flowers evenly across the body.
Example:
Rows 10–16
Finish with a non-flower row.
⸻
Step 11: Edging
Work all rows from the right side.
Row 1
Work sc around the entire edge.
Corners: 3 sc in one stitch
Row 2
Work sc around
Along the neckline, make 7 decreases evenly (every 6–7 stitches)
Row 3
Repeat Row 2
After each corner increase, move 1 stitch forward
Make 6 more decreases along the neckline
(If your stitch count is different, divide evenly and make 5–7 decreases total.)
⸻
Step 12: Sleeves
Join yarn at the center of the underarm.
Work in turned rows.
Start with a non-flower row (wrong side).
Alternate rows:
1 row without flowers
1 row with flowers
In the first flower row, do not place flowers in the underarm area.
Then distribute flowers evenly.
Example:
3 flowers per row
Work to desired length (I worked 19 rows).
Finish with a non-flower row.
Repeat for the second sleeve.
⸻
Step 13: Sleeve Edging
Work 3 rows of sc.
In Rows 2 and 3, make decreases every 4–5 stitches.
(If your stitch count is different, divide evenly and make 5–7 decreases total.)
⸻
Finished
Fasten off and weave in all ends.
Done!
