DESCRIPTION

This Wassily02 Knee Length (slightly flared) Boxy Japanese jacket (Free Size) is based on abstraction from Wassily Kandinsky’s “Credence”. While it may look complicated, it is easier to make than expected.

Jacket’s Features:

  • knee length
  • very slightly flared
  • pockets
  • made with LC2C (Linked C2C) crochet
  • Free Size (at least from Au sz 8-14!!!!)

This is not a tutorial.

  • There are no instructions on how to crochet C2C nor Linked C2C.
  • I leave it up to you on how to join pieces.
  • I leave it up to you on how you want to work bands for the Front & Neck, as well as for the Sleeve.
  • I leave it up to you on how you are to attach pockets to garment.

However I do provide links to illustrate steps on how I created my jacket, as well as links to tutorials on various techniques and methods I used (should you want to use those techniques/methods).

Because the shape of the jacket is designed for fun & comfort, there is a huge margin of ease … which means you don’t need to worry overly about exact and precise sizing.

PURCHASE INSTRUCTIONS

Note: The graphs are specially designed for C2C crochet – it incorporates the diagonal lines that are so useful for C2C graphed work. I have worked this in No-Hole Linked C2C (LC2C) crochet method but you can also use standard C2C.

While you can use my graphed designs for a variety of craft projects, if you do use them for your C2C project, please note that these graphs and notes are not meant as a tutorial on how to do C2C crochet. I assume that you already know how to work C2C crochet.
