How to Crochet a Stylish Jacket with Teetee Bamboo&Co Yarn

You’ll Need:

500 (550) 600 (650)g of Teetee Bamboo&Co yarn in grey color (52% bamboo, 48% cotton; 140m/50g);

Crochet hook size 3;

6 buttons.

Size:

S (M) L (XL).

Used Patterns

Relief pattern: the quantity of stitches is a multiple of 6 + 1 chain stitch. Work according to the scheme, repeating the 2^nd-3^rd rows.

Stitches Control:

22 stitches x 1 row = 10 x 1 cm.

Instructions

Front and Back

Make 181 (199) 217 (235) chain stitches using 2 threads of yarn. Cut the second yarn and work in 1 thread of yarn with the relief pattern = 30 (33) 36 (39) pattern repeats. At 22 (22) 24 (24) cm in height, start working with double crochets, making increases in the 1^st (RS) row in the following way: increase 5 (4) 4 (3) crochets above the first 7 (8) 9 (10) pattern repeats, 9 (9) 7 (7) crochets above the next 16 (17) 18 (19) pattern repeats, and 5 (4) 4 (3) crochets above the last 7 (8) 9 (10) pattern repeats = 200 (216) 232 (248) double crochets. Then, crochet straight. At 33 (34) 35 (36) cm, divide your work into 3 parts in the following way: 50 (54) 58 (62) crochets for the front, 100 (108) 116 (124) stitches for the back, and 50 (54) 58 (62) stitches for the second half of the front. Make each part separately using double crochets, making decreases for armholes, neck-hole, and shoulder chamfers to match the pattern design.

Sleeves

Make 49 chain stitches using 2 threads of yarn. Cut the second thread and work in 1 thread of yarn with the relief pattern = 8 pattern repeats. At 12 cm in height after making the 3^rd row of the relief pattern, continue with double crochets, increasing 2 (2) 4 (4) crochets in the 1^st row = 51 (51) 53 (53) stitches. For sleeve chamfers, increase 5 (11) 13 (15) x 1 stitch in every 2^nd row from both sides, then bind off 7 (2) 2 (0) x 1 crochet in every 3^rd row and 0 (0) 0 (2) x 1 crochet in every row = 75 (79) 83 (87) stitches. At 45 (45) 46 (46) cm in height, make decreases for sleeve caps from both sides, ensuring alignment with the pattern design.

Assembly

Make seams to construct the jacket. Sew up the sleeves. Fasten the lower edge of the jacket and sleeve edges with 1 row of single crochets. Fasten the edges of the front and neck-hole with 3 rows of single crochets and create 6 button-loops on the right half. Finally, sew the buttons in place.
