Knitvi’s Jacket — A Type 3 Inspired Knit Trucker Jacket
Knitvi’s Jacket is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Levi’s Type 3 trucker silhouette, translated into a fully knitted garment.
This design features tapered V-shaped seams, a structured yoke, chest flaps, welt details, and functional side pockets — all created with thoughtful shaping and clean finishing techniques.
Worked bottom-up and seamed for stability, the jacket offers a relaxed, oversized fit with approximately 24 cm of positive ease.
The construction includes German short rows, double knitting, a tailored sleeve slit, and a beautifully folded welt that adds a polished, ready-to-wear feel.
Whether you’re looking for a timeless wardrobe piece or a satisfying technical knit, Knitvi’s Jacket is a rewarding project with a striking final result.
The pattern comes with two files: a full written pattern and a complete set of charts for all sizes.
