Five-Yarn Jacket

Lion Brand® Glitterspun® - Trellis - Incredible - Moonlight Mohair - Microspun

GAUGE:

11 stitches = 4" (10.2 cm) using 11/L hook BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Slip each of the five skeins of yarn into separate ziplock bags to keep them from getting tangled as you crochet.
2. Work 1 row of A, 1 row of B, 1 row of C, 1 row of D, and 1 row of E for color sequence.
Repeating the 5 rows of color sequence, work 4-row repeat of pattern stitch.
3. Always pick up last loop of stitch with new color, then chain as directed for turning chain.
It is not necessary to fasten off colors after each row; carry yarns loosely up sides of work.
4. Be sure that you pick up the same amount of stitches on left and right fronts.
5. When sewing seams, be sure that carried yarns are hidden inside garment.
