Jacket with Full Skirt (Swing Style)

This classic swing jacket pattern is worked top down with minimal seaming - instructions are provided to eliminate seams completely by working sleeves in rounds instead of rows.

The design features a fitted top, a full skirt and flower shaped button fasteners.

The ‘skirt’ section is designed to finish mid- thigh but is adjustable for a custom length.

YOU WILL NEED: 400-800 m Aran yarn and a 4.50 mm hook for the jacket, 50 m 4ply (fingering) yarn and a 2.50 mm hook for the fasteners, 4 buttons and a needle for neatening ends.

Buttons used in sample measure 2 cm (3/4") in diameter. Depending on the finished size of your fasteners, this may vary.

GAUGE: 13sts and 8 rows to 4" across spaced UK trebles (US double crochet).

Pattern is written in UK terms with a table of US equivalents provided as applicable.

Pattern is fully tested.
