Mio Jacket & Hat Knitting Pattern (8ply)

Knit a beautifully simple, kimono-inspired layering piece with soft garter ridges and timeless structure. The Mio Jacket is designed with generous ease, clean lines, and a flowing silhouette for everyday comfort and effortless style.

Featuring wide garter stitch bands, optional buttonhole placement (1, 2 or 3 buttons), and folded cuffs for extended wear, this gender-neutral design is both practical and polished. The coordinating Mio Hat completes the look with matching garter panel detail.

Back and fronts are worked together to the armhole for streamlined construction.
