Kimberli Jacket |
|
Description This lovely jacket has many options! Designed with a beautiful, yet understated and uncomplicated stitch pattern, Kimberli can be crocheted with any yarn and appropriate hook size, with straight or swing shaping. Choose from several trim styles—two options of lace trim around all edges, or either of the lace trim options around only the bottom and sleeves with a very narrow plain edge along fronts and neck edge. Classic, versatile design Any combination of options adds up to fun stitching and easy-fitting results. This classic garment is one you may want to make several times—depending on your choice of yarn and options chosen, Kimberli is equally beautiful for dressy, professional and casual outfits. It's a really versatile pattern that works up into a beautiful garment that anyone, even those who don't prefer busier crocheted lace patterns, will love to wear. Top-down construction Kimberli is worked from the top down. You choose your trim option in advance, then crochet from the outset to accommodate your chosen edging for perfect fit and coverage. Top down construction means no seams to sew—when you're finished crocheting, just weave in the ends, add one or more buttons if you wish, and you're done! Specific instructions and schematics are given to make garments for sizes S-4X; however, this design really shines when used as a fit-as-you-go design and can be custom fitted to ANY size literally from baby to super-plus adult. This is especially well-suited for making pretty little sweaters for any size tween girls—just use bust size in the chart below to help you estimate yarn amounts needed, and custom fit as you crochet, either trying the garment on or using a few measurements from a good-fitting existing garment. 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” printed pattern booklet Skill level Intermediate Materials needed Kimberli can be made with any yarn and appropriate hook size.
