There are many benefits to the knit blazer-it's a real wardrobe mainstay. Consider: It's comfortable to wear, easy to care for, professional but not stuffy, convenient to take on a business trip, and, in many fabrics, a garment you can wear year-round. In recent years, quality ready-to-wear collections offered unlined blazer-style jackets made of sturdy knit fabrics. Examine these jackets and you'll spot construction techniques that elevate this style. Pattern instructions do not always include these steps, but they are easy to emulate. Apply these tips for great results in your next-or first-knit jacket project. Some construction and finishing could be done on the serger for a fast project, but the methods that follow don't require much time, effort, or special materials. Learn about patterns that lend themselves to knit fabrications, which areas are important to stabilize, stitching advice, plus counsel for more professional-looking hems.
