"Created with only single crochet and chains, this crochet jacket works up super quickly even for advanced beginners! This crochet jacket is made using DK weight yarn, which is a category #3 on the Craft Yarn Council’s Yarn Weight System. It’s a nice weight for a light jacket since it’s warm but still has nice drape and not too warm. I’m thinking fall here. (Finally!) You can use any DK yarn that gets gauge. I chose an acrylic yarn because I’m sure this will need washing and most acrylics are easy to care for (and don’t shrink). Wool or a blend would also be a great choice as it is outerwear. Cotton would make for a more spring season top. Yarn: Paintbox Yarns Simply DK: 2 (3, 4, 4) balls Midnight Blue (MC), 1 ball Champagne White (CC).
