This is such ma a cute jacket. I love the pattern. Im looking forward to making it. I’ve crocheted for 39 years, never made anything for myself. So this year I have decided to make a few things or me. This will definitely be one of my projects.

Fantastic! It sounds like you’re about due for a little indulgence! Happy hookin’!

Good Morning! I am in the process of making the sweater. I have hit a road block. 1st I am left handed(lol i know). So everything is backwards(opposite) for me. I am now on the back right shoulder. which when I ended roe 56 of the back, I am on the “left” side of the project. My question is, when the pattern says to “dcdec” over next 2 sts(row 57 of back right shoulder) the dec is on the outter side towards the sleeve correct? I also have another inquiry but I will inquire about that when I reach that point. because I am also confused on skipping the 37 stitches on row 56. I don’t get what’s going to be done with the skipped stitches(seems as though leaving a hole in the back of the sweater. Thanks so much for you help ❤

After you finish the right shoulder at row 59…..go back to row 57……skip the next 37 sts on row 57….insert hook in the next st and then follow the directions……this will create the left shoulder……the 37 skipped stitches will create the back part of the neckline. It’s done this way to eliminate the need for any sewing.

Hi. I love this jacket! Looks like it is only in one size, about a M? Is there any way you could tell me how to make this larger, more like an XL?
