Crochet Swag Jacket Free Pattern

by - December 03, 2018


I created this jacket to wear over skinny jeans, T-shirt and boots. Sometimes when we are indoors, we need a warmer layer but not too warm. This 3/4th sleeve and sitting just over the waist Jacket is a perfect layering piece. The crew neck gives it a bit of formal look too when made in solid colors. I would love to see you all giving this pattern a try.  Don't forget to use #crochetswagjacket on social media 😊. Please follow me on Instagram @blueberryswirlz

Shaping Armholes: 
FLDC in each stitch until first ch2 space, 2FLDC in first ch2 space, ch 2 , 2 FLDC in second ch2 space, we are going to skip all the stitches between the two ch2 spaces. This is the first armhole formed.
FLDC in next stitch and all the way to the thirst ch2 space. 2FLDC in third ch2 space, ch2 , 2 FLDC in fourth ch2 space, we are going to skip all the stitches between the two ch2 spaces. This is the second armhole formed. Ch2 turn

Row2: dc in the first stitch which is the same stitch as ch2, *FPDC in next, BPDC in next* repeat from * to* until you have 1 stitch left, dc in last stitch. Ch2 turn.
Row3: Repeat Row2. Make sure FPDC is on top of FPDC from previous row and BPDC is on top of BPDC from previous row.

Sleeves:
Join the yarn in the middle Of the underarm. Mine is in the left ch2 when right side up. In the first row of the sleeve it is important that you work in the correct direction, with your work facing right side, join yarn and after a few stitches you will be able to make out if the direction of your work is correct or not.

Row1: ch2, dc in same stitch, dc2t the rough edges of the underarm, dc2t rough edge and ch space from Row10, dc2t ch2 space and next stitch. Until this point we are working in both loops. Now on continue to work in front loops only. Mark the center 2 loops in the round with stitch markers. FLDC in each stitch until the stitch markers, dc2t front loops only next 2 stitches, FLDC till you reach one stitch before the ch2 space from Row 10. Dc2t next stitch and ch2 space, dc2t ch2 space and rough edge, dc2t rough edge and ch from shaping underarm. Join with sl st to top of first dc. Ch2 turn
Note: when joining in the round join on both loops throughout the pattern.

Do not fasten, continue to sleeve ribbing.

Sleeve Ribbing:

At the end of row 19. Do not turn. Continue to ch9.

Row1: skip 1 chain and YOST into second chain from hook, YOST into the remaining chains, sl st into base of same stitch at ch9. (8)
Row2:  sl st into next stitch of sleeve, ch1, YOST into back loops only of previous row. Be careful to ignore the slip stitches at the beginning and do not miss the last stitch. Ch1, turn. (8)
Row3: YOSL into back loops only into each stitch, sl st into base if the stitch, sl st into next stitch of sleeve, ch1 turn. (8)
Repeat Rows 2and 3 all the way around the sleeve. Total 37 rows.
Sew the two ends of the sleeve ribbing using  slip stitches


Neckline or Collar Ribbing:

With right side facing up, join yarn in the corner of the left panel. Chain 11.
This ribbing is worked in the same way as the sleeve ribbing. Here you will have 66 rows.
Do not fasten off, continue to edging.

Front edging:
Right side: continue from the collar, ch1, turn work by 90 degrees. Evenly work 1 HDC along the length of the right front. I worked 1 HDC in each YOST from collar and approximately 2 HDC per row of the body. Ch1, turn

Row2-4: HDC across, ch1 turn.

Left side: join yarn to bottom of left panel and evenly work HDC along the left side. Ch1, turn
Make sure the number of stitches in same as on right edging.

Rows 2-4: HDC across, ch1, turn.


Suggestions for other sizes: 

Begin with the same number of base chains for each size. 

The difference comes in the row where we form armholes. 

For XS join for armholes one row before in this pattern that would be in the 10th row.

For M do additional 1 row before shaping armholes. 

For L do additional 3 rows before joining for armholes. 

For XL do additional 4 rows before joining for armholes. 

For sleeves follow same pattern and keep doing dc2t under the arm on the rough edges, after that continue in the same way..
