Alpaca Bomber Jacket Knitting Pattern
A contemporary bomber-style jacket with an oversized silhouette, textured fabric and classic button-front closure. Contrasting ribbed trims create a polished finish, while the relaxed shape makes this an ideal layering piece for cooler weather.
The jacket is worked flat in separate back, front and sleeve pieces before being seamed together. The body is knitted in a simple textured purl fabric using Cloud yarn, while the deep ribbed hems, cuffs, neckband and front bands are worked in Inca Spun for added structure and definition. Finished with seven buttons, this modern design combines comfort with effortless style.
Photographed in Alpaca Yarns Cloud and Inca Spun, combining a lofty merino texture with firm ribbed trims for warmth and shape retention.
