Hey, crochet buddies, thanks for stopping by and checking out my Annabelle smock jacket pattern!
I'm so thrilled that this jacket came out just as I had envisioned - Vintage silvery frills!
Peplum and smock tops never go out of style and can be worn with jeans and smart trousers to switch up the look!
I love the 3/4 sleeve, It looks great and is perfect for Spring/Summer months where you need a little bit of layering but don't want to be too covered.
Working in raglan style is my fave! I love being able to see the jacket coming alive and best of all....minimal seaming!
This entire Annabelle smock jacket is worked in variations of Single crochet so its a beginners dream. I'm sure all of you crochet pro's will enjoy making this just the same. It's a classic item for making over and over! Maybe start early on all of those birthday/holiday gifts!
Yarn choice is everything!
I fell in love with this Silver/grey yarn it’s Vanna’s choice by Lion Brand yarn.
I can’t lie, it's a dream to work with and when washed with some softener...WOW! It became really soft, the jackets smocked edging fell beautifully!
I was blown away with the end result, I will be checking out this yarn again 100%!!
Materials needed
The faux antique buttons I found on amazon and they were made to go with this jacket...perfect!
My trusty Knitpro 6mm hook!
4 X stitch markers, You will be using these for a large part of the pattern. I suggest using actual markers instead of a piece of yarn. This means you will not lose your place or get confused with set up!
