Interesting stitches, simple lines, and just a few decreases make Thisbe the ultimate first garment project! Crocheted lace panels are worked sideways without seams to create the body of this drop shoulder jacket. Thisbe is perfect with skinny jeans or leggings and boots for fall or over a swimsuit and sandals in summer. The ultimate in crochet bohemian chic, make free-spirited Thisbe for an easy wardrobe piece that will carry you through the seasons.

  • Because this pattern uses multiple gauges and the fronts do not meet, the fit is quite relaxed. Choose the bust size that is closest to your bust measurement.

  • This garment has 2 seams that run
    from the cuff to underarm and down the side of the body, but can be worked as a seamless garment by using a slip
    stitch crocheted seam to finish it
    neatly and without having to sew! ·

  • Sleeves can be easily lengthened by
    repeating Rows 1-2 of Sleeve section until you reach length desired. Be
    aware that more yarn may be required to make this modification.

  • This pattern uses American crochet terminology.
