The Wasteland Zipper is a fitted zip jacket with a top-down raglan construction and wide-cut, long sleeves. It features slanted, inset pockets, which are worked seamlessly.

// Size options
1 - 2 - 3
to fit chest circumferences
80 - 90 - 100

// Needles
2.5mm and 3mm

The pattern uses a thicker yarn for the top-down raglan body and a thinner yarn for the collar and hems on the zipper and pockets.

// Thicker yarn

  • 26 sts x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette with 3mm needles
  • ~110m / 50g (The jacket I knitted is pretty thick. If you want the jacket to be lighter, use a yarn that is a bit thinner. But make sure the knitted fabric can still support the weight of the zipper, especially if you want to use a metal zipper.)

// Thinner yarn

  • 34 sts x 55 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette with 2.5mm needles
  • ~210m / 50g
