Baby jacket. I had a small ball of baby acryl and just got going, no pattern, just a small t-shirt to have some idea of size. I started with the Tunisian crochet top part, then crocheted the body top down. After that I had 7.4 grams (about 1/4 oz) left for the sleeves. I weighed the ball several times till I had used half of it, then did the second one.
I had done something right for at the end the sleeves were equal size and I had 6 inches of yarn left.

111376Wow, this is just a beautiful jacket. I love the pattern you've used. Wouldn't be able to do it unless I had a pattern in front of me, I'm always amazed at women/men can just make up something without a pattern to read. Great work. Love Chris

2611639792Great job and figuring too! This reminds me of the little ones my mom made. Very sweet....
109780What a perfect jacket! Boy were you lucky on the amount of thread to use! I'd have run out. The little buttons are just right for the jacket too. Did you make button holes for it?

Yes, I did, skipped 2 single crochets and did two slip stitches instead. Buttons are from an old shirt.

You're brilliant with fabric. yarn, and thread!
Every time I look at your creations, I am filled with wonder.
