Zig-Zag Jacket

Lion Brand® Imagine

GAUGE:

Each pat rep = 4 inches (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Zig-Zag Jacket Reviewed by m on 2009-06-16 ****
this was a little tricky. But I've always liked it from the moment lionbrand put it up on the web. I had the imagine yarn but used it for something else. So I made this with Vanna's Choice in purple, black, silver grey and grey (it's in storage now). I altered the collar to my preference. This works up quick and it's cozy. I also made a vintage crochet zigzag purse to make with black handles and topped it with a beautiful earring and necklace set I made. I received so many compliments on this, not just from the ladies, but from the gentlemen, they loved it. I'm in my 30's and I even got compliments from some teenagers. Hope This Helps
