Crocheted Jacket

[Illustration: Crochet Jacket]

One color or two may be used for making this pretty jacket, which is
extremely modish, and very comfortable for the cool days and evenings
sure to be experienced during summer outings. Six skeins of fourfold
Germantown will be sufficient; or four skeins of one color for the body
and two of white for the border, if made in two colors.

Make a chain of 54 stitches, turn.

1. Miss 3, a double in next, * chain 1, miss 1, 1 double in next; repeat
from * across, making 26 doubles; turn.

2. Chain 2, a double under 1 chain, * chain 1, a double under next 1
chain; repeat across, turn.

Repeat 2d row until you have completed a strip 22 inches long, for the
back, bringing the work to the shoulder.

Now work back and forth for one shoulder and front, repeating 2d row
until you have made 9 doubles; turn, chain 2, and repeat until you have
made 4 rows.

In the next row widen by making 2 doubles, 1 chain between, in center of
row, finishing row as usual; widen in the center of every 8th row until
you have 15 doubles in the row, then continue without widening until the
front is of the same length as the back.

Leave 8 doubles for back of neck and on the remaining 9 doubles work the
other front to correspond.

For the border: Commence (with the border-color, if two colors are used)
at corner of left front, make a treble under 1 chain (chain 3 for 1st
treble), * chain 1, a treble under next 1 chain; repeat from * all
around, putting 2 trebles with 1 chain between in same stitch at
corners, and on the shoulders at the neck to shape the collar.

Make another row in the same way, then work in seed-stitch as you did
the body of the jacket (a double under 1 chain, chain 1) for 8 rows,
widening the same stitches at corners each time.

Fold the garment at the shoulders, bringing fronts and back together.
Commencing in 10th chain from bottom of front and back, work in the
usual way for 25 stitches, a double under each chain. Work from underarm
around the armscye until the sleeve is 12 inches in length, or as long
as desired, then make the 2 rows of spaces, in treble crochet, as before
and finish with 7 rows of seed-stitch, same as body of jacket.

For the picot edge: Two doubles in 2 stitches, chain 3 for a picot;
repeat.

The stitch given is very simple and prett
