Magnum is an 80’s -inspired zipped jacket with an overlapping collar, designed to showcase Red Riding Hood Yarns.
Influenced by the popular TV shows of the time, Magnum features a high foldover collar which is fastened by sew-on snaps and has built in icord edging for a nice finish. It has a striped ribbed hem and sleeve cuffs with slipped stitch ridges down the sleeves.
Magnum is a versatile pattern which can be knitted in solid, semi-solid or variegated yarn, with options for contrast colours at hem and cuffs. Written in eleven sizes from 12 months to 12 years, Magnum is suitable for boys and girls. This jacket is completely seamless apart from the finishing touch of sewing in the zip.
