Howdy! Amazingly, i came up with the idea to crochet the Hamilton cast, but it looks like you beat me to Alex at least haha. I was wondering if you had some tips on how to get that jacket done because I am at a true loss, I'd appreciate the tips
My basic coat pattern looks like this:
It’s a rectangle with holes at the top for where the sleeves will go. I like to make it vertically with short rows for the sleeves, but I know other people who prefer to make similar items in horizontal rows bottom to top.
Once you’ve got your basic rectangle, crochet around the edges, including chains or fscs across the tops of the arm holes. I like to do decreases around the top as well to shorten the collar a bit. When you go up and down the sides, do fpdcs to get a folded lapel look:
I then crochet the sleeves into the base of the armholes, but if you prefer you can make the sleeves as separate tubes and sew them on. Tada! That’s how I made my Hamilton coat.
