Today's crocheted item is a jacket I have made using Drops Muskat yarn. I purchased 15 balls in colour number 15 but actually only needed 13. The yarn was £1.50 a ball which seems fairly reasonable.
The pattern was quite hard to follow and the although the back and sides were straight forward, the sleeves took a bit of work to get the decreases correct for my shorter than average arms.
The jacket took me 3 weeks to make but now I am comfortable with the instructions I expect I could do another in 2 weeks. That's great as I do intend to make another one, but perhaps not this winter as I have other projects lined up!
Here is the finished item although it is waiting on some buttons.
