CLOUDS JACKET
This is a lovely lacy jacket that can be slipped
on top of just about anything. It is a
pretty easy pattern repeat and I’d say it can be attempted by almost anyone..
so come along and let’s see how we make this lovely creation.

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement. This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
This lovely creation can be made in several
sizes and I think you can use any yarn with a suitable hook for it too. The yarn I have used is not one that has been
suggested by the designer, and it worked pretty well. What I did do was work a quick swatch though –
and I would suggest that, only so that you can keep tabs of which size you need
to follow using your yarn.
I decided to add a few buttons down the front button placket, rather than having to only depend on a belt to keep it closed.
If you so decide, here's what I did
a) Decide how many button you want, and the size of the button
b) Decide how far apart you'd like them
c) Work the first round of sc / hdc per pattern all around the front of the jacket and then place markers for where you want the buttons
d) Finally, depending on the size of the button, you will skip that many stitches when working along the right side of the jacket. (You will stitch the buttons onto the left side of the jacket).
Pattern for right side of jacket placket
This is just general information as I do not know how large you would like your button. So let's assume your button is about 3 sc stitches across. *You will work your placket till you are 1 sc away from the marker ; ch 3, and sk the next 3 sts (the marker should be the middle st you are skipping), sc in the next st and then continue all the way in sc till you are 1 sc away from the next marker* ; rep *to* till you finish all the marked spaces for the button holes.
Why are you skipping 3 sts and working ch 3? Because your button is 3 sts diameter.
So if your button is a-4-st diameter, you will sk 4 sts, and work a ch 4. Got it?
Arm yourself for some quick work – this pattern
goes pretty fast and you will have your lovely finished product in a few days.
I think this beauty would look fantastic
sleeveless too.. what do you think?
