Holden ready-to-knit bed jacket

Bed jacket knitting kit

The Holden bed jacket is easy to wear, on top of nightwear or an at-home outfit. This light and fluffy garment is warm and comfortable thanks to its loose cut and soft yarn made from mohair and silk. The openwork fantasy stitches and loose both enhance the delicateness and delightfulness of this garment.

How to knit this bed jacket

The Holden bed jacket is knitted with 7 mm needles. You must know the basics of knitting to make it:

• Knit and purl stitches
• Increase and decrease stitches
• Pass slipped stitches over
• Cast off and assemble

You can start this project if you master these techniques. Beginners with a bit of knitting experience may need to practice knitting fantasy stitches before trying.

Customise your bed jacket

The Top Hair yarn is available in different colours, from dark shades to lighter ones. Choose the colour you like best, then select the size you wish to knit. When in doubt, refer to our size guide to determine it.

The knitting kit

The kit comes with everything you need to knit this bed jacket: balls of yarn in the colour of your choice, knitting needles (optional), a decorative 24 karats heart-shaped charm to finish off your piece with, and a knitting pattern with instructions for sizes S, M, L, and XL. You will also need a few extra tools to knit the jacket that you can purchase from our online Haberdashery, such as a pair of scissors, a tape measure, and a yarn needle for the assembly.

Care

Take good care of your bed jacket to keep it in good conditions for a long time. Spread out washes and use a little detergent. Air your jacket often to rid it of bad smells. Wash it by hand or in a machine with cradle wash technology. The water temperature must remain at 30 C. Do not use softeners and do not iron your garment. Leave to dry flat in a ventilated location.
