The Hearth Side Crochet Jacket Pattern

I named the Hearthside crochet jacket back when I thought a cool name was really important. Turns out it isn’t , but making yourself a crochet jacket is. You’re in luck, as I have just the crochet jacket pattern for you!

I designed the original crochet jacket with no free pattern, which was a few years ago. I really wanted to share it with everyone though, so I’m back to update the crochet jacket pattern with all the sizes from XS-XXL.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any new photos of this jacket. I donated it to a homeless drive a while back. I kinda wish I had it now lol, but I hope it’s being put to good use.

I know it probably looks overwhelming and complicated, but this crochet jacket is actually pretty easy. It’s mostly just single crochet (sc).

The crochet jacket is made in 5 separate panels with the collars added after they’re sewn together. You can use one or multiple colors, and the buttons are optional as well. Although I prefer buttons.

Joining the crochet jacket pieces together

Sew the back and 2 front panels

Take the back and 2 front panels, place them with correct side facing down, we’ll sew in the wrong side. Using the tail we left earlier on the right front panel, we’ll sew the right front panel into the back panel at the shoulder seam. For the left shoulder seam, we didn’t leave a tail, so we need to cut a new strand of yarn, 10-16 inches long to sew the left front panel into the back panel at the shoulder seam using method of choice.

Sew the sleeves to the main panel

With the main panel correct side facing down. Place your sleeves correct side facing down and start sewing on the wrong side with your tail again. The shoulder seam of the main panel should be in the middle of the sleeves panel and even on both sides

Sew the jacket together

Fold your jacket in half at the shoulder seam with the correct side facing each other, we’ll sew on the wrong side. Cut a new strand of yarn 60-70″ long, enough to sew the side and the sleeve. Start sewing from the bottom up to the side seam until you reach the armpit and continue sewing the sleeve side seam until you reach the end of the sleeve and then weave all the ends (Check picture below)

Crochet the collar

Turn your jacket right side out. We’ll crochet the collar on the right side. All The sizes are made the same

Row 1 Color B: sk 10 rows/st from the corner of the left collar (Left collar when you wear it) and add new yarn into next row/st and then, ch 1 (do not count as a st), 1 sc into the same st that we just added new yarn, 1 sc into each st around the neck area and back down to the other side (Right collar) until you have 10 rows/st left. Total of 40(40, 40, 40, 40, 40) sc *If you have a couple less or more st, it’s ok (Check picture below)

Row 2 Color B: Turn, ch1 (do not count as a st), 1 sc into each st across. Total of 40(40, 40, 40, 40, 40) sc. (Check picture below)

Row 3 – Row 11(11, 11, 11, 11, 11): REP Row 2

*The end of row 11(11, 11, 11, 11, 11) do not cut the yarn, we’ll use the same yarn to crochet around the edge

Crochet around the collar edges

For the collar edges. All the size are made the same.

We’ll crochet on the right side first (Right side when you wear it). Using the same yarn that we used to make the collar. Color B: Make 1 sc into each st until you reach the bottom of the right front panel (Check picture below)

The left edge (Left side when you wear it)

Color B: Add a new yarn into the bottom left corner and then, ch 1 (do not count as a st), 1 sc into the same st that we just added new yarn, 1 sc into each st until you reach the top collar corner (Check picture below)

finishing up the collars of the crochet jacket pattern

Adding the Buttons

The placement of the buttons will depend on how you want your jacket to fit. I will give some written instructions below but you can adjust these to your preference.

We’ll sew the buttons into the left front panel (when you’re wearing it). Starting at the bottom, count 8 stitches up and 6 rows in for the placement of your first button. Place a stitch marker into the 9th stitch and count up another 8 stitches, repeating the same until you have 4 buttons. (Check the picture below)
