Happy Holidays, I have just begun making the lightweight Zen Jacket. I am confused by part of row 4 under the section "for all sizes". I chained 4, I made the fan in the next V space, but I don't understand what you mean when you say "SPsc in fifth tr of next fan 2 rows below" across to next corner INC-V. If I go two rows down to the row where I have 8 fans, then go to the next corner inc-v, it won't be flat as it appears in the photo. I am a fairly decent crocheter and am trying to broaden my horizons. Any explanation would be greatly appreciated, thank you. Sincerely, Ann

My favorite is a A crochet Shawl Pattern, because when the weather is just getting to be a little on the chilly side I can warp a shawl around my shoulders & get the warmth I need to take that little chill away, without getting overly hot from putting on a bulky jacket or sweater.

I like the short multi colored jacket, I think it is a cute idea. You could make many and use as gifts for family and friends or make one of several for yourself as well. One for each outfit you need a little cover up for. A basic black , navy or even brown, mostly I like the varegated shown. Well I guess I better get started only 2 months till Christmas!

The Cool Summer Hoodie was may favorite. It gave instructions for a wide range of sizes, which makes it easier to decide whether to make as gifts.

I like the ruffle cardi. It's very feminine and not chunky. I would like to recreate it in an off white/cream color. Classic.
