Crochet Jacket Free Pattern

This crochet jacket FREE PATTERN will be the coolest crochet project you ever made! I call this the Crochet Sherpa Wool Jacket. Of course we use yarn, not actual sherpa wool! This pattern uses the knit-look stitch, center single crochet, which makes it look that much more impressive. This truly is an actual jacket!

This pattern is actually fairly simple. You make a few straightforward panels and add a simple collar and even simpler sleeves and VIOLA! You have yourself the most gorgeous, knock their socks off handcrafted, crochet jacket!

The video tutorial is below and the written, free version of the pattern will follow below shortly. The printable pattern will be available at my Etsy shop soon as well! In the meantime, watch the video and look around my Etsy shop for my other Crazy Cool designs. CrazyCoolCrochetUS.etsy.com

Size Small

This jacket is designed to be short and boxy. It should sit a few inches below the waist. You can make it longer by adding rows to the front and back panels as preferred.

For larger sizes simply add two inches to the foundation chains (per each size larger) of the front and back panels using an odd number for the starting chain. There is no need for a multiplier. Add an inch more to the foundation chain for the sleeves.

Materials:

#4 weight Lion Brand Wool Ease/ size Small 15 ounces / 985 yards/Color Umber

Pipsqueak #5; 3.5 skeins (3.5 ounces ea); Color Vanilla

Purchase here:

NOTE: Center single crochet: insert hook into the “heart” of the sc below. The sc will look like an upside down V with a little bar over it. Insert the hook into the center of the upside down V, below the little bar. Work the sc as normal.

TIP: work slightly loosely with the csc to better see and allow easier entry of hook.

TOGGLE BUTTON

Prior to attaching lining to the panels, attach toggle button as required for your toggle. Example: the toggle I used required sewing with regular needle and thread into tiny holes in the leather patches. Ensure even placement on each of the front panels. For my jacket I placed the toggles 15 rows below the top of the front panels and 4.5 inches from the edge (the button piece) and 8.5 inches from the edge of the 2^nd panel (the loop piece).

ATTACH LINING

Front Panels  

With wrong side of brown panel facing up and right side of sherpa panel facing up, place sherpa panel on top of brown panel. Position sherpa panel so you keep the very edge of the brown panel “free”. With yarn needle and brown yarn, use a whip stitch working under one strand of the brown (do not work into the front of the panel) just inside the edge, and under two strands of the Pipsqueak (“sherpa”). See Tip below! You will need the edge of the brown available for seaming the finished panels.

TIP: For the sides of the panel that will be showing when the front panels fall open (untoggled), work under only ONE strand of the sherpa panel. For the sides of the panel that will not show when slightly open (the inside seam and the shoulder) you may go under two strands.         

Back Panel

Attach lining using the same process as for front panels.  

ATTACH PANELS

Shoulders

With wrong side up, use yarn needle and brown yarn to seam back panel to front panels at the shoulder. Working from the edge to the center, seam for 8 inches on each shoulder.

Sleeves

Position the body of the garment fully opened with wrong side up. Position the top edge of sleeve (wrong side up) centered at the shoulder edge seam. With yarn needle seam with whip stitch using brown yarn.

Front and Back Panels

With wrong side up, using yarn needle and brown yarn, whip stitch, beginning at the bottom of front and back panel, seaming up to the underarm and down the arm seam.

COLLAR

With jacket right side facing up, attach Pipsqueak yarn with the smaller I hook, to front right panel, 3 inches from the shoulder seam.

TIP: use a normal tension for the collar. If you normally use a looser tension, tighten up the tension a bit.

Row 1: Ch 1. sc in same sp and in ea sp around to 3 inches past the shoulder seam to the left front panel. Ch 1. Turn

Row 2: Enter 2 sc’s in 1^st sp for a scinc (single crochet increase). Sc in ea space to the second to last sp. Enter a scinc in the last sp. Ch 1. Turn

Row 3 – 10: Repeat Row 2

Row 11: sc in 1^st sp and ea sp of the row. Ch 1. Turn

Row 12: Repeat Row 11. Tie off yarn.

CUFFS

With Pipsqueak yarn and I hook, attach yarn at the sleeve seam. Use normal tension.

Row 1: Ch 1. sc in same sp and each sp around perimeter of sleeve. When you reach the end of the row, sl st into the beginning sc. Ch 1. Turn

Row 2: sc in 1^st sp and sp around. When you reach the end of the row, sl st into the beginning sc. Ch 1. Turn

Row 3 – 12: Repeat Row 2. At end of last row, tie off yarn.

Flip cuff up, over the sleeve.
