It’s summer(
thank GOD!!!) and I know many of you are anxious to take on projects for the
next cold season. I say this simply because I received a lot of requests for
crochet winter coat patterns. So this is why I did my best to research and
discover the trendiest but also warm and comfy looks for winter coats.
So here is
the story of what I found and the pattern ideas and stitch explanations so you
can make yourself a trendy , beautiful, comfortable and warm crochet winter
coat.
Crossover
Stitch Winter Coat – Polina Krainova
Why Did I
call it this way? Honestly because I have no idea who the designer is, I love
this stitch and I find it extremely easy to remember it this way.
I found the
design ( already made coat) on vk Russian forum. I don’t know if Polina Krainova is the name of the designer or of the brand but all I can say is that I
fell in love with this particular coat, color, texture and all.
The crochet
winter coat was made with a medium size yarn, merino, cotton acrylic mix works,
but polyester and cotton mix is also a good idea. A thicker yarn ( wool, or any
other bulky thread) would result in a stiffer structure so if normally you
would use a 4 mm hook, for a thicker yarn you will have to use a 4,5 -5 mm
hook.
Shaping the
coat:
Keep in mind
simple knitting principles for making the coat.
- One back , two halves for the front.
- A line shape worked either from the upper part or
the lower part.
- No armhole decrease ( straight arm opening)
1.
Chain
multiples of five ( according to your measurements)
2.
Ch3,
*sk 4,1 Quadruple crochet in the 5th ch from the hook , skip the
first of the 4 skipped stitches and work 3dc in the next skipped ch using the
back loop so the quadruple crochet will remain in front*….repeat ** till the
end of the row.
3.
The
second row is worked the same but keeping the quadruple crochet in the back(
only back loop) to get the ribbed effect
Work
as many rows as necessary to get above the hip line. Start a basic decrease to
get the shape from the picture. Simply skit one stitch to each side.
Same
simple style applies both for the back and the two fronts.
Sleeves
are worked in the same way and the decrease is a basic shoulder decrease (
skipped stitches to get the round shape)
You
can leave the neck line simple or you can add it a collar . Make a rectangle according to the neck opening
measurement . It’s really this simple.
Ribbed
Late Fall Coat – same designer ( I think)
This
coat uses the exact same style but a very different stitch.
I
don’t know about you but I am a fan of front post , back post dc . The
combination of this two gives the complicate and intricate looking ribbed
finish , checkerboard style that I love about this coat.
The
same choice of yarn and crochet hook applies.
Stitch
pattern:
The chart has groups of 3 stitches , the coat limits to two stitches /group
1.
Chain
the required length
2.
Ch
3, 1 dc in each ch, turn
3.
Ch3,* 2 fpdc , 2bpdc*…. Repeat ** till the end of the row finis with 1dc, turn
4.
Ch3,
reverse pattern : *2bpdc , 2fpdc* ( I think you got the idea, the reversed
pattern offers the ribbed effect)
5.
Repeat
2 and 3 until the piece is completed.
Same principles for shaping the coat apply here.
Lean Puff Stitch
Warm and Fuzzy Coat – designer unknown
If you liked
the first idea , you will love this one.
Recommended
yarn: acrylic, mohair, anything fuzzy, 4 mm hook
So here goes:
1.
Chain
multiples of five ( according to your measurements)
2.
Ch3,
*sk 4,1 Quadruple crochet in the 5th ch from the hook , skip the
first of the 4 skipped stitches, ch 2 and work 1puff stitch in the first
skipped ch using the back loop so the quadruple crochet will remain in front*, *….repeat
** till the end of the row.
3.
The
second row is worked the same but keeping the quadruple crochet in the back(
only back loop) to get the ribbed effect.
The
shaping of the coat remains at your choice. The one in the picture has a
gradual decrease in front ( the neck is shaped round).
These being said, girls I encourage you to
try.
It is a lot easier than you might think so and also a lot less work than
you might imagine. A compact stitch saves you the trouble of looking for an
underlining for the coat .
Keep
in mind that all you need to do is measure yourself accordingly ( there are
online tutorials for accurate measurements for crochet and knit clothing).
Have
fun and make your coat in a vivid color ( mine will be emerald green).
I
hope you like this post and I hope you will join us on Facebook, Pinterest and
Google+ for more interesting updates and ideas.

My goodness, jsut found your site through Pinterest and I LOVE these jackets. Makes me want to go and get some yarn right away. So funky!! And I always thought crocheting was to make boring looking garments.
RăspundețiȘtergereI also do DIYs on my blog (in Finnish and English), but nothing this cool though... Will keep following your stuff now that I found my way here. And will let you know if I get around crocheting one of these designs.
Love from Finland,
Sinikka
