Crocheted Matinee Jacket Reviewed by Patty Duncan on 2011-08-11
After making hats, scarfs, and slippers, I decided that I would like to make this jacket, and I am so happy with the results. It did not take long and the directions are straightforward and easy to follow. The jacket came together easily and looks just lovely. I used homespun in pesto color, and I love the varigated look, the softness and the warmth of the finished garment. The fit is fabulous too.
