I read patterns before I start making them to make sure I understand all the steps. I got to the part of "shaping the armholes" and "back" section and realized this pattern was too confusing. It is often easy for the person who is designing the item, but they have to realize that we cannot read that person's mind. Because of that, it is not always an "easy" pattern, even though it most likely IS easy, as long as we can understand the steps. I agree with others on this site that a video or pictures would be a tremendous help. I love the way this pattern looks and would like to make it.

I was reading over the reviews for this jacket patter I see that the first review as way back in 2015. This design is very similar to those "blanket jackets". My Grandmother would always tell me that everything old would be new again if you wait long enough. Does anyone else see the blanket sweater?

The pattern directions indicate that this pattern is easy. I beg to differ. Without any pictures or videos I would not consider this easy. With all of the options to make this in different sizes included it is bound to make even the most proficient a little confused. Neat crochet jacket though.

I was going to suggest a ribbed 2 o3 " cuff for warmth and buttons since they called it "totally warm"

I so tried this making this hoping the pattern was updated. It isn't.. I was doing great until the sleeves, wow what a mess! I have now toren it all out and will be looking for something different to make with my yarn. I just can't get the pattern for the sleeve part to work. After reading all of the other comments, I see I'm not the only one. It's a sham to try a project just to have it fail. Thanks anyways!

They no longer make the Red Heart Shimmer! I should know, I used to make my own "signature cowl" to sell and to give to special friends. I used that yarn exclusively. It was the best. So lovely and I got so very many compliments on it. I think there is a Soft Essentials now, but I am not sure if it's a worsted weight or not. I am thinking it is a chunky. I am loving the look of this shrug sweater!

Linda Dean from Red Heart, thanks so much for listening to our pleas for help with your jacket pattern. Seems we all ran into a snag at the same spot. Thanks for not leaving us all hanging with a partially finished project. Did anyone in this feed that commented they were having trouble finally finish their jacket?

Awesome jacket to crochet, for myself. The design and yarn used make it supremely elegant in appearance.

I'm just starting this, so to anyone who's already made this are the rows for the back supposed to curl/spiral/ruffle? Just want to make sure I'm doing this right. Thank you!

Was zipping thru this pattern and as soon as I got to attaching yarn for first sleeve, came to a complete standstill! Could you please re-word the directions as to exactly WHERE you are supposed to attach the yarn?

This sweater look so so comfy! I agree it would be awesome to have a video to go along with this, I'm new to crocheting sweaters.

I tried to do this craft but was unable to figure out the armhole shaping. I asked other crafter's but was unsuccessful. I don't understand how to shape the armhole. Maybe a tutorial video would help.

I agree totally! Would love to make this but a video is much simpler to follow for a beginner. Hope to see one soon.

Hi Love to try this, have never crochet a garment. Would it be possible for someone to do a video as I find it easier to see something visual. Thanks
