A New Challenge: Chanel Style Jacket

My crocheted swatch was satisfactory, so I bagan the jacket pattern Full Metal Jacket from Couture Crochet and so far, so good. The fabric is firm, yet flexible--just right for a dressmaker suit.

The body is worked in one piece, with sleeves worked separately and sewn in. I may do fuzzy trim or I may create a braided look edging to look more Chanel-like.

For now, I am watching the pattern emerge from the variegated yarn. When color starts to pool too much in one spot, I cut yarn and switch to a different ball or "fast forward" to another colored section of the same ball. I want more of a tweed look than a striped or patchy look.

Happy Needleworkmonday to all!

hi @fiberfrau I'll have to follow this one. Sounds like a difficult project. Yarn colors look great. Good luck.

The colorful yarn makes it fun. If I were using a solid color, I would already be bored. I almost never use a single color unless there is a lace or cable pattern to hold my attention.
