Crochet Motif Jacket

1 Comment

The crochet motif jacket is complete.  I love the way it turned out!  I got the idea to make this from a picture I saw on a magazine at the store.  I have been wanting to make one for a while now and decided to start it back in October.  I finished it a couple of weeks ago and finally got a chance to photograph it last week when I wore it one day.

The motifs were crocheted first using a large size crochet hook – so they were quick to crochet.  The part that took the longest was deciding on placement and then sewing it together.  I left it on our dining room table for about two days before I actually got around to sewing them all together.  Even after I was done I made a couple of adjustment to the front ones so it would lay right.

When I wore the jacket the other day my husband commented on how nice it looked on me but he questioned the warmth of it.  I told him it was more of an artistic fashion item and not a sweater for warmth.  It is surprisingly warm though when you have it on and comfortable to wear.   I don’t think I will wear it on a really cold day but it is perfect for a mild weather day here in Texas.  I love how it looks with jeans and I am currently planning to make a denim skirt that I think will go with it really well.

The yarn I used for this project was from Hobby Lobby.  It is called Debut and is one of their brands of yarn.  It is really soft and comes in lots of pretty colors.  I chose to use 3 colors for my project which were midnight, stormy blue and smoke.  I tend to wear a lot of blue or gray in the fall and winter so I thought those colors were best for me.

Sorry for so many photos – I just really like how this turned out and wanted to show the front, side and back views.  I am planning to write up the pattern of how I made this and have it available on etsy and craftsy in the future.  Right now I am busy working on other crochet, knitting and sewing patterns and have not gotten this one written up and published.
