Finally the wait is over! To celebrate ten years of publication, Sandi Prosser has released a crochet version of her popular classic knitted Weekend Jacket. Worked in a combination of single and double crochet stitches, this version follows the same construction methods as its knit cousin to marry style and simplicity. The main body is worked from side-to-side so that the variegated yarn creates vertical stripes for a dramatic effect, while the alternating stitch pattern creates textural interest.
