The squares 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.
Sabia Crochet Jacket by Caroline Murphy
What is Being Made
Sabia is a downloadable crochet jacket pattern designed by Caroline Murphy. This garment is sized to fit chest measurements from 81–101.5cm (32–40 inches), with actual finished measurements of 119cm (47 inches) across the chest and 40.5cm (16 inches) in length from shoulder. The sleeve length measures 48.25cm (19 inches) from the underarm. The jacket is constructed using a modular approach with separate front and back pieces, making it suitable for intermediate-level crocheters.
Techniques Used
The Sabia jacket employs fundamental crochet construction techniques built around repeating stitch patterns and strategic shaping. The pattern uses a foundation chain and row-by-row building method to create structured pieces. Shaping is achieved through increases and decreases worked within chain spaces, allowing the fabric to expand and contract as needed for proper fit. The design incorporates edging work using a smaller hook size to create neat, finished edges around the garment perimeter. The pattern is written using American crochet terminology, making it accessible to crocheters familiar with standard US conventions.
Stitches Used
- Chain (ch): Forms the foundation and creates decorative chain spaces throughout the pattern
- Double crochet (dc): The primary stitch building the fabric structure and body of the jacket
- Single crochet (sc): Used for edgings to create a refined, neat finish
- Slip stitch (ss): Joins rounds and secures stitches at the end of rows
- Chain spaces (ch-sp): Openwork elements created between groups of double crochets, adding visual interest and drape
Materials and Yarn
The Sabia jacket requires approximately 1,150 metres (1,258 yards) of DK weight yarn in assorted colours, allowing for creative colour-work and striping throughout the garment. A 5mm crochet hook is used for the main fabric, with the pattern requiring a tension of 16 stitches and 7 rows over 10cm (4 inches) in double crochet. A 4mm crochet hook is recommended for working the edgings, which creates a tighter, more defined finish around the neckline, front edges, and cuffs. Proper tension is essential for achieving the intended finished measurements and garment fit.
