How to Crochet a Stylish Cotton Jacket

You'll Need:

350g of MAXI Madame Tricote Paris yarn (100% cotton; 565m/100g);

Crochet hook 1;

Some buttons.

Instructions

Start making the jacket from the top down.

Make 100 chain stitches for the back and crochet from the top down from shoulder seams to arm-hole line 19 cm. Put off crocheting.

Make 25 chain stitches for the front and crochet 19 cm from shoulder to arm-hole, matching your work with the design scheme and increasing from one side to the front center.

Start making the other front in symmetry to the first. After crocheting 19 cm, connect your work along the side seams and crochet 36 cm as one piece. Finish crocheting with a puff stitch of the 8th row.

Make shoulder seams.

Start making sleeves from the top. Make 25 stitches - 1 pattern repeat, and increase stitches to 32 cm wide sleeve and make 14 cm, matching with the scheme design. Then, continue work, decreasing stitches to the bottom part of the sleeve and finish the sleeve with the 8th row of ornament.

Inseam the sleeves and make sleeve seams.

Fasten the edges of the fronts with 4 rows of the main pattern, starting from the bottom part of the right front, through the neck-hole to the bottom part of the left front with turning rows.

Don't fasten the bottom part of the jacket and sleeves.

Sew buttons to the left front; relief holes of the right front will serve as buttonholes.
