This pattern is written using American crochet terms.
The pieces are joined as you go, so there’s no seaming afterwards. The sleeves are worked in the round downwards from the shoulder to the cuff. The hood is worked upwards in one piece and there’s a short seam to close the top of the hood. This seam is worked in ss and can’t be seen, even when the hood is down. This pattern is great for using up yarn scraps.
Trevina Crochet Jacket by Caroline Murphy
What is Being Made
Trevina is a downloadable crochet jacket pattern designed by Caroline Murphy. This intermediate-level garment features relaxed, comfortable proportions with an actual bust measurement of 119.25cm (47 inches) and a length from shoulder of 38cm (15 inches). The sleeves measure 48.25cm (19 inches) from underarm, making this a versatile layering piece suitable for various occasions and seasons.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
The Trevina jacket is constructed using fundamental crochet techniques combined into a cohesive garment design. The primary construction method employs granny stitch, a classic and widely-recognized crochet stitch that creates an open, lacy fabric with excellent drape and flexibility. This stitch is ideal for jackets as it provides structure while maintaining breathability and comfort during wear.
The pattern uses American crochet terminology throughout, making it accessible to crocheters familiar with US stitch abbreviations and conventions. The garment is worked in modular sections, beginning with individual squares that are joined together—a technique that allows for flexible construction and easier customization of fit.
Stitches Used
The Trevina pattern incorporates several fundamental crochet stitches to create its structure and finishing details:
- Chain stitch (ch) – used for foundation chains and creating chain spaces throughout the design
- Double crochet (dc) – the primary stitch forming the granny stitch pattern and main fabric body
- Single crochet (sc) – employed for edgings and finishing details
- Slip stitch (ss) – used for joining rounds and connecting sections
- Double crochet decrease (dc2tog) – incorporated for shaping and tailoring the jacket to the body
Yarn and Materials
The Trevina jacket requires approximately 1,010 metres (1,105 yards) of DK weight yarn in assorted colours. DK yarn is a lightweight, versatile yarn weight that works beautifully for garments, offering a balance between drape and structure. The pattern encourages using multiple colours, allowing crocheters to create a unique, personalized version of this design through colour blocking or gradual colour transitions.
Two crochet hooks are required to complete this project: a 5mm crochet hook for the main garment construction and a 4mm crochet hook for edgings and finishing work. The 5mm hook is sized to achieve the specified tension of 16 stitches and 7 rows over 10cm (4 inches) in granny stitch, which is essential for achieving the intended finished measurements and proper fit.
Difficulty Level and Suitability
Rated as an intermediate difficulty pattern, Trevina is suitable for crocheters who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to tackle garment construction. The use of modular granny squares and straightforward shaping techniques makes this an excellent project for developing garment-making skills while creating a wearable, stylish jacket.
