Imagine you're about to make something truly special that is a cozy crochet jacket with pockets and a zipper to keep you warm and stylish.

Crochet Jacket With Pockets & Zipper

Materials:

Two strands of yarn to be held together throughout the project.
9 millimeter crochet hook.
Zipper (length to be determined by the project size).

Pattern Overview:

Start with the Jacket Panels:

Chain 51 (adjust based on size).
Work half-double crochets (HDC) in back loops starting from the second chain, the exact number will vary by size.
For the last 10 chains, perform a yarn over, slip stitch in each for ribbing.
Repeat specific rows to create the body panel up to the desired length, which varies by size.

Creating Pockets:

Starts at row 14 (for small size), adjust the row based on your size.
Perform some slip stitches, then HDC, chain, and skip stitches to create the pocket opening.
Work on the pocket panels separately by attaching yarn across the pocket opening and working back and forth in half-double crochets.

Seaming and Finishing:

Seam the sides of the panels together.
Work on the collars with a foundation of slip stitches and then building up in rows to fit around the neckline.
Seam the collar to the neckline of the jacket.

Preparing and Attaching the Zipper:

Use stitch markers to indicate where the zipper starts and ends.
Secure the zipper in place with stitches matching up to markers put on the zipper beforehand.

Sleeves:

Start with a small ribbed section by chaining and working slip stitches back and forth.
Transition into half-double crochets, increasing in specific rows to shape the sleeve.
Seam the sleeve and attach it to the armholes of the jacket.
