Sirdar Country Style DK Crochet Jacket – Pattern 8016

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern from Sirdar (pattern number 8016) provides instructions for a classic, wearable crocheted jacket worked in Sirdar Country Style DK yarn. Designed at an intermediate difficulty level, this pattern is an excellent project for crocheters who are comfortable with fundamental techniques and ready to tackle a structured, fully fashioned garment. The pattern notably includes larger sizes, making it an inclusive design suitable for a wide range of body types.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a crocheted jacket with set-in or structured sleeves, suitable for everyday wear. It features a button fastening, with the pattern calling for 4 buttons. The jacket is designed with a relaxed but tailored silhouette, offering a generous actual bust measurement ranging from 98 cm (38½ in) up to 149 cm (58¾ in) across the six available sizes.

• Sizes available: To fit bust 81/86 cm (32/34 in) through to 132/137 cm (52/54 in) — six sizes in total
• Full length: Approximately 72 cm (28¼ in) to 85 cm (33½ in) depending on size
• Sleeve length: 44–46 cm (17¼–18 in), described as adjustable

Techniques Used

This is a crochet pattern worked in the round and in rows to construct the separate panels of the jacket. As an intermediate-level design, it requires familiarity with shaping techniques such as increasing and decreasing to create the structured body and sleeves. The garment pieces are worked separately and then seamed together, which calls for basic joining and finishing skills. The button band or front opening is also incorporated into the design, requiring neat edging work.

• Working in rows to construct body panels and sleeves
• Shaping through increases and decreases
• Seaming crocheted pieces together
• Finishing edges neatly for button bands
• Button placement and attachment

Stitches Used

The primary stitch used throughout this jacket pattern is the treble crochet (UK terminology), which is equivalent to a double crochet in US terminology. The pattern tension is set over trebles, confirming this as the dominant stitch structure. Treble crochet creates a fabric with a pleasing drape and a relatively open, airy texture — ideal for a jacket that needs to hold its shape while remaining comfortable and flexible to wear.

• Treble crochet (UK) / Double crochet (US) — the main stitch used throughout
• Additional foundation and turning chain stitches as required
• Possible slip stitch and chain stitches for joining and edging

Tension

The stated tension for this pattern is 16 stitches and 10 rows to 10 cm (4 in) measured over treble crochet using a 4.00 mm crochet hook (UK size 8 / US size F/5). Achieving the correct tension is especially important in a garment of this type, as it directly affects the finished measurements across all six sizes. Crocheters are advised to work a tension swatch before beginning and adjust their hook size if necessary.

Materials Required

The pattern is designed specifically for Sirdar Country Style DK yarn in shade 651, a DK weight (double knitting) yarn. The number of 50g balls required ranges from 8 balls for the smallest size up to 13 balls for the largest size. In addition to the yarn, you will need a 4.00 mm crochet hook and 4 buttons for the front fastening.
