Materials Needed

• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 150 stitches. Ensure your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 2 (ch 2), skip the next 2 chains, and make a dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row. Once complete, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Start with a chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Then, *ch 2, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work again.
4. Lace Pattern: Continue working in this lace pattern (Rows 1 and 2) until your piece measures 20 inches from the starting edge. Make sure to measure from the bottom of your foundation chain to ensure accuracy.
5. Divide for Sleeves: To create the sleeves, work the first 50 stitches, then turn your work. For the first sleeve, work even in the lace pattern for 8 inches. Once done, fasten off your yarn.
6. Back Section: Rejoin your yarn to the next 50 stitches (the back section). Work even in the lace pattern for another 8 inches. After completing this section, fasten off your yarn again.
7. Second Sleeve: Rejoin your yarn to the last 50 stitches (the second sleeve). Work even for 8 inches, just like the first sleeve. Once finished, fasten off.
8. Join Shoulder Seams: With the right sides facing each other, join the shoulder seams together using your preferred method (slip stitch or whip stitch). This will create the top of your jacket.
9. Border: To finish the jacket, work a border around the entire piece. Start with a chain 1, then single crochet (sc) evenly around the edges. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round. Fasten off your yarn.
10. Finishing Touches: Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish. This will help your jacket look polished and professional.
