Here's the latest project off of my crochet hook. I've been wearing it out lately and getting so many great compliments.
It's actually crocheted from the neck down since my latest obsession are seam-free patterns! The top half is a pretty lacey shell stitch that has subtle differences that make it different from any basic shell stitch. The lower half is a more open crochet lace for contrast. The sleeves are 3/4 length with a slight flare at the cuffs.
The jacket is finished with GORGEOUS horn-like buttons with faux leather stitching on the front. An assymmetrical closure gives this jacket a beautiful look buttoned-up. Looks great open as well. Coming soon....
Hi Katherine,
This is such a pretty Jacket....Is there a way of making it in a bigger size for plus size women...? You are so talented....One of these days, I might be....LOL....
Hugs

Can't wait - it's amazing! Well done!

Wow! Yet another stunning, sophisticated garment from my favorite crochet designer. I can't wait! And to hear it's going to be seamless is music to my ears! It'll save me a lot of brain ache trying to work out how to manipulate the pattern to work it in one piece.
This piece really is so fantastic, I can see it being worn at autumn and winter weddings everywhere by Bride's Maids and other wedding guests.
