How to Crochet a Stylish 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 up to down.

Back Section

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

Front Section

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

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

Shoulder Seams

Make shoulder seams.

Sleeves

Start making sleeves from up. Make 25 stitches - 1 pattern repeat and increase stitches to 32 cm wide sleeve and make 14 cm, matching with 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.

Finishing Touches

Fasten the edges of 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 be the buttonholes.
