My Design Inspiration: One day I was looking at a magazine. I think it was Oprah or something like that. While flipping through the pages I found and advertisement by Cache with a gorgeous model wearing a knitted white sweater jacket leaning against a car. It was stunning! I just had to make this crochet design. That night just happened to be “date night” so I convinced my husband to go with me to the nearest Cache store. I was so excited when I found the sweater. I was even more excited when I realized how easy it would be to recreate in crochet! While trying to inconspicuous, I held it up the sweater and stretched it out using my body and arm lengths to measure. As soon as I left the store I jotted down all the measurements to create an easy crochet pattern.. How This Crochet Pattern is Made: Step one in creating this stunning crochet pattern is to crochet a big rectangle using double crochet stitches, worsted weight yarn and a large crochet hook. After you have the big rectangle finished, you fold it in half and stitch along the side leaving an opening for the sleeves. The crochet sweater jacket is completed with several easy to crochet rounds of shell stitches. The instructions include diagrams and sizes up to 5X.
