Cozy Crochet Jacket Pattern Perfect for Layered Comfort

The Crochet Jacket pattern from the pattern begins with a foundation chain to form the back panel.
Using simple stitches like chain (ch), single crochet (sc), half double crochet (hdc), and double crochet (dc), the main body is worked row by row, shaping armholes and neckline with careful increases and decreases. 
Front panels and sleeves are added next, then all pieces are joined to assemble the jacket.
Following the step-by-step pattern ensures proper stitch placement, clean edges, and a consistent, professional look, making it beginner-friendly while still allowing for creative customization.
Cozy Crochet Jacket Pattern
Materials
-
Yarn: Approximately 450g of "Copito" (100% acrylic, Group 3/DK weight) for size Small. Adjust quantity for larger sizes.
-
Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook (or one size larger than your yarn's recommendation to ensure a soft drape).
-
Tools: Measuring tape, scissors, tapestry needle, and stitch markers.
Special Features & Difficulty
-
Difficulty Level: Easy to Intermediate. While the stitch looks complex, it only uses basic crochet movements. The rectangular construction eliminates difficult shaping or increasing.
-
Special Features: The Semi-Open Stitch allows for breathability, making it a perfect layering piece for spring or autumn. The ribbed border provides a professional, high-end "store-bought" finish.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Tension Sample: Always crochet a small test swatch first. The tutor notes that this specific stitch tends to shrink slightly as you add rows, so check your measurements frequently.
-
Hook Size: Use a hook slightly larger than recommended on the yarn label. This prevents the jacket from becoming stiff and ensures it moves gracefully with your body.
-
Versatility: The tutor suggests wearing this over a long-sleeved basic top for extra warmth without losing the beauty of the lace-like pattern.
Step-by-Step Details
The Tina Jacket is a sophisticated take on the classic cardigan, characterized by its "Tina Stitch"—a combination of double crochet clusters and V-stitches that create an elegant, fan-like texture. Built from basic rectangular shapes (back, two front panels, and two sleeves), this project emphasizes comfort and modern style.
Conclusion
Finishing the Tina Jacket provides a sense of accomplishment, resulting in a stylish, handmade garment that rivals boutique fashion. By following the 4-row repeat and simple assembly steps, you can create a personalized cardigan that fits your style and size perfectly. This project is not just a clothing item; it’s a timeless addition to your handmade collection that showcases beautiful texture and craftsmanship.
Tip: When sewing the pieces together, don't pull your yarn too tight. Keeping your seams slightly loose allows the garment to stretch naturally as you wear it, preventing the fabric from "puckering" or bunching at the shoulders and sides.
