Crochet Jacket Pattern in Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply – Pattern 9506

This downloadable PDF from Sirdar provides a complete crochet pattern for a classic women's jacket, worked in Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply yarn. The pattern is notable for its inclusive size range, covering six sizes from a 32/34 inch to a 52/54 inch bust, making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of crocheters. The finished jacket features a structured silhouette with set-in sleeves and a button fastening, offering a polished, wearable garment suitable for everyday styling.

What Is Being Made

The pattern produces a crochet jacket with a full-length body and long sleeves. Actual finished measurements range from 90 cm (35½ in) to 140 cm (55¼ in) across the chest, with a full length of 60 cm to 78 cm depending on size, and sleeve lengths of approximately 46 cm to 50 cm. The jacket is fastened with 2 buttons, giving it a neat, tailored finish.

Techniques and Stitches Used

This pattern showcases two distinct textured crochet stitch patterns, each contributing a different visual and tactile quality to the finished jacket:

• Bobble Pattern: A classic raised crochet technique where clusters of stitches are worked into the same stitch and joined at the top to create a three-dimensional bobble effect. The stated tension for this section is 6 bobbles and 20 rows to 10 cm on a 4.00 mm hook, indicating a moderately dense, textured fabric.
• Trinity Pattern (dc3tog): Also known as a cluster or shell-based stitch, the Trinity stitch is worked using dc3tog (double crochet 3 together), a technique where three double crochet stitches are drawn together to form a unified cluster. This creates a beautifully intricate, almost woven-looking texture. The tension for this section is 10 dc3tog and 14 rows to 10 cm on a 4.00 mm hook.

The combination of these two stitch patterns within a single garment adds visual interest and demonstrates a range of intermediate crochet skills. Both techniques are well-suited to the fine weight of the yarn, allowing the stitch definition to remain crisp and clear.

Crochet Hook and Tools

• Hook size: 4.00 mm (UK 8 / USA F/5) crochet hook
• Notions: 2 buttons for the jacket fastening

As with all crochet patterns, achieving the correct tension is essential. The pattern explicitly states that working to the stated tension is required to ensure the correct finished measurements. Crocheters are advised to work tension swatches in both the Bobble pattern and the Trinity pattern before beginning the main garment pieces.

Materials and Yarn

The jacket is worked in Sirdar Country Style 4 Ply, shade 607, a lightweight 4 ply yarn well-suited to fine stitch definition in crochet. The quantity required ranges from 5 to 8 balls of 100g depending on the size being made:

• 32/34 in (81/86 cm): 5 x 100g balls
• 36/38 in (91/97 cm): 5 x 100g balls
• 40/42 in (102/107 cm): 6 x 100g balls
• 44/46 in (112/117 cm): 7 x 100g balls
• 48/50 in (122/127 cm): 7 x 100g balls
• 52/54 in (132/137 cm): 8 x 100g balls

Yarn amounts are based on average requirements when the specified tension and yarn are used. Substituting a different yarn may affect the quantity needed as well as the stitch definition and drape of the finished garment.
