Chunky, cloud-soft, and super fast to knit—meet the Touch Betty Jacket!
Knitted on big 12 mm needles with two strands of fluffy 12ply mohair held together throughout, this statement jacket flies off your needles in no time. Worked flat from the bottom up on straight needles with separate back and front pieces, it features a generously relaxed, one-size width with three customizable length options—from a trendy cropped silhouette to a cozy hip-length layer.
Please note: Yarn, needles, and notions are sold separately.
Pattern Overview
- Construction: Knitted flat from the bottom up on straight needles in separate back, front, and sleeve pieces, which are seamed together during finishing.
- Style Options: Features a relaxed, oversized width (135 cm finished chest) with three length variations to suit your style: Cropped (45 cm), Mid-Length (55 cm), or Long (65 cm).
Sizing & Fit Guide
This pattern is designed in a single generous width with three length options. To picture how it will fit on your body, compare the 135 cm finished chest measurement against your own bust measurement—giving you plenty of cozy positive ease—and choose the length that hits where you want it on your torso.
| Length Option | Finished Chest Circumference | Finished Length |
|---|---|---|
| Option 1 (Cropped) | 135 cm | 45 cm |
| Option 2 (Mid-Length) | 135 cm | 55 cm |
| Option 3 (Long) | 135 cm | 65 cm |
Gauge & Suggested Tools
- Needles: 12 mm straight knitting needles.
Yarn Requirements
Created for bulky 12ply mohair yarn (100 g balls), held double (two strands held together throughout). You can pair two balls of the same shade for a solid look, or hold two different colours together for a soft marled effect.
| Length Option | 12ply Mohair Required (100 g balls, held double) |
|---|---|
| 45 cm (Cropped) | 4 balls |
| 55 cm (Mid-Length) | 5 balls |
| 65 cm (Long) | 6 balls |
Before You Cast On
Take a few minutes to knit a tension swatch with two strands held together on your 12 mm needles, then block it gently before measuring. Because chunky needles and double-stranded mohair create a lofty fabric, checking your gauge upfront ensures your jacket drapes nicely and matches the finished dimensions. Always buy full balls of yarn, and consider tossing an extra ball into your cart for swatching.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Betty Jacket knitted flat or in the round?
It is worked flat from the bottom up on straight needles in separate pieces (back, fronts, and sleeves), which are sewn together during finishing to give the oversized silhouette extra structure.

How many strands of yarn are held together?
The pattern is knitted by holding two strands of 12ply mohair yarn together throughout the entire project. Working double-stranded on 12 mm needles gives the jacket its plush volume and makes it an ultra-quick knit.
