Ruffled Jacket

This was a very easy project and I'm so glad I did it! It got the pattern from the Dec/Jan issue of Crochet! Today magazine and basically it's just a large rectangle with various shell stitches as the trim for the sleeves and collar. I used Wool-Ease in "Fisherman" and it took about 10 skeins. I am going to make another one for my mom for Christmas in a striped yarn to see how that looks too!

After I finished this I wore it to work and got tons of compliments on it. I highly recommend making this, esp if, like me, you have problems with the shaping working correctly on regular sweaters and jackets.
