Introduction

In this tutorial, we will learn how to make a square sweater jacket. This cozy and stylish jacket is perfect for staying warm on those chilly days. We will cover everything from making the square panels to joining them together and adding the finishing touches. So grab your yarn and crochet hook and let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the materials we'll need for this project:

• Yarn (preferably in three shades of brown and a cream color)
• 3.5 millimeter crochet hook
• Sewing machine or needle and thread
• Scissors
• Stitch markers
• Buttons

Now that we have everything ready, let's move on to making the square panels!

Making a Square

To begin, we will make the square panels that will form the basis of our sweater jacket. Follow these steps:

1. Make a slip knot with your yarn and attach it to your crochet hook.
2. Create a chain of 30 by yarn over and pulling through each loop, repeating until you have 30 chains.
3. Work single crochets into each of the 30 chains by inserting your crochet hook into the second chain from the hook, pulling through a loop, and then yarn over and pull through two loops to complete a single crochet.
4. Repeat this process for the remaining chains, making sure to work one single crochet in the first chain and the last chain to keep the ends straight.
5. Continue repeating this pattern for a total of 10 rows.

By the end of these steps, you should have 10 square panels. Now, let's move on to joining the squares together.

Joining the Squares

After making the square panels, it's time to join them together to form the back of the sweater jacket. Here's how you can do it:

1. Use a sewing machine or a needle and thread to sew the squares together. Start by placing two squares side by side and sewing them together along one of the edges.
2. Repeat this process for the remaining squares, joining them together row by row until you have a complete back panel.
3. Once you have joined all the squares, you will have a back panel with a right side and a wrong side.

Take a moment to admire your progress! The back panel is complete, and now we can move on to making the side panels.
