Houndstooth Stitch Short Jacket

This is a short jacket with houndstooth stitch pattern. There are many combination of colors that makes an outstanding houndstooth pattern. This time round I chose orange and blue.

The tutorial video :

To make houndstooth stitch, make a foundation chain in a multiple of 2 plus 1. I start by making the back panel, work from bottom up. There is no joining at the shoulder part. I continue to build the pattern from the back panel to the front panel.

The length of the foundation chain is the length of your width. How wide you want the coat to be. Make the foundation chain in multiple of 2. Then chain 1 and do a single crochet on the second stitch from hook. Do a double crochet on the next stitch. Follow by a single crochet in the next and a double crochet in the next. Repeat until the end of the row. Always start with a single crochet and end with a double crochet for every row.

Once at the end of the row, change color. I did not bring along the 1st color yarn when I do the 2nd row with the 2nd color. I cut the yarn and weave it into the coat. After change color, chain 1, turn the work and do a single crochet on top of the previous double crochet. Do a double crochet in the next stitch, which is the top of the previous single crochet. Repeat until the end.

Once you have the length that you want, now continue to build the front panel. Leaving the middle few rows for the neck. Refer to tutorial video for better understanding. Once complete, Do single crochet on the font part. Joint the sides but leave some space for the sleeves.

As for the sleeve, I reduce the number of stitches every row. Do less 1 set of single crochet and double crochet on each side of every row. Refer to video.

Sew the sleeves and the sides of the jacket and turn it inside out and you have a jacket. Hope you like this pattern.
