Wassily01A Boxy Japanese Jacket XL Extra Large (CH0526A)

When I gifted the first of this original Wassily01 Boxy Japanese Jacket to my friend last year as a belated birthday present, it was too small for her. So this year, I have used exactly the same pattern but with different yarns and hook sizes to create this Extra Large and roomy Japanese Boxy Jacket. I hope this time, we have a successful fit.

Floral Pocket Scarf in C2C Crochet (CH0529) - pattern listed

Pocket Scarf seems to be the in thing this season. So I jumped in with my take on the pocket scarf (aka pocket shawl) in this Floral Pocket Scarf. The technique I used was LC2C (Linked C2C) crochet but you can as easily make this using the standard C2C (Corner to Corner) crochet.

Wassily01 Boxy Japanese Jacket – in Linked C2C (CH0526) (pattern listed)

Wassily01 Jacket – the colours and illustration on this jacket are my abstractions from some of Wassily Kandinsky’s fabulous abstract art. Hence the name.

The shape was inspired by the easy, casual, and comfy Japanese-style boxy jackets. It is generally free sizing, which is very convenient.

LC2C (Linked C2C) or No Hole Corner to Corner Crochet - How to

Linked C2C (LC2C) crochet? What is it?

I talked about the Basic and most common form of C2C crochet before. But my preferred C2C crochet is this Linked C2C crochet, which I also sometimes refer to as No-Hole C2C. I have currently not as yet come across anyone doing this so this term “Linked C2C (LC2C)” or “No-Hole C2C” are my own labels to indicate:

• LC2C is made of linked stitches (LDC – Linked Double Crochet. That is a standard and pre-existing crochet terminology) and..
• that with this method, there are no pesky holes in the final fabric
