Granny Square jacket...or it might be a coat

Added a few more squares yesterday at Knit and Natter

working the jacket/coat in two halves because it is a design in the making, I am deciding what size, length and shape I want as I go

Left a square out at the neck but it now has one in the back.

 

 

Basically a kimono Style.....

1: Tried a sleeve of 4 square width and a triagle under the arm first but that was too bulky

2: Second option was to make a wider kimono style sleeve with 6 squares. That works so far

3: The sleeve length will be next I think

4: Then the jacket/coat length

5: Then the width..wide and loose or a slimmer fit

6: Then the neckline and edging

GRANNY SQUARE JACKET it is......

Made a few more circle last night and this morning because I decided to make a Granny Square Jacket

I have enough circle to make a jacket front, going to make them all before I crochet them together into a jacket...every one should be different.

And really should finish the lace top at least if not the wool/alpaca jacket as well, before aking the new jacket, not sure my will power is good enough though these colourfull little circle and the using up of end balls is very enticing lol

Mostly using up all those little end balls you have saved because you can't bear to throw them away

 and I am joining them with A beige Marble DK from James C Brett.

 

Happy Hooking every one x

Crochet Lace Cuffs....

Another round on the oatmeal lace top, but I will soon need more yarn so need to track it down.

Bought a new cardy in the sales, same colour although a mat finish but the motif will make a great cuff as well as the top....

so I will order an extra ball for trims.

BAMBOO/COTTON TOP PROGRESS
