Santiam Canyon Jacket Kit

About Santiam Canyon Jacket

Santiam Canyon designed by Kay Hopkins is a fun jacket-type of cardigan with wide ribbing for texture and design elements at the raglan seams. No seams and a top-down construction mean that you can try it on as you go, and it has an easy stitch pattern that requires no charts… just an enjoyable knit and a stunning and comfortable sweater to wear!

The double collar can be worn buttoned or open and the body profile is a slight a-line for a flattering fit. The yoke construction is raglan sleeves with short row shaping at the back neckline for a comfortable fit. The body is worked in wide ribbing (blocked open). The stockinette sleeves have an extension of the raglan panel detail running down them and into the deep ribbed cuffs that can be rolled up if desired.

Construction is top-down and seamless so it’s easy to make it exactly the length you desire. Inclusive sizing is provided with intended ease of 4–6 inches / 10–15 cm at chest.

Kay is also known online as Knit For the Soul and has designed several patterns in The Fibre Co. yarn including the Multnomah Falls Hat, Forbidden Cliffs Tee, and the original Santiam Canyon pullover.
