Notes

I have become intrigued with the turtleback jacket. The magic of turning a rectangle into something wearable and pretty astounds me.

This is my first experience with this style of jacket. Watch for more.

Notes
I like my wraps / sweaters a little on the loose side, so I added several more repeats of the Lace Border. The pattern calls for three repeats of the pattern and I crocheted 6 repeats. I worked the first 3 repeats with a 4.0 mm hook and the following 3 repeats with a 4.5 mm hook. The result is a fuller neckline/collar and longer flounce.
