July crochet jacket with hood pattern

Sharing is caring!

Time fly by! And this July crochet hooded jacket has straightforward, easy construction, which is perfect enough for less experienced crocheters.

This month of July is just the beginning of the rainy season here in Thailand woohoo! like name of this crochet jacket, I don’t know why I came up with this name..lol.

So I was tempted to make a long sleeve boyish style crochet jacket with a hoodie, but they turned out to be kind of a vest jacket with no sleeves.

Easy crochet hood jacket pattern.

This simple crochet jacket is unbelievably easy, and a plus is I had to add the good size pocket to keep your hand in place. I knew everyone loved pockets, right? Me too!

It was my first time adding zippers to crochet projects, especially garments; oh well, they are super easy, guys!

I  did not have a sewing machine, so I did hand sew, and oh, they are quick and surprisingly easy!

The July hoodie jacket is made from 3 panels; the two front panels are exactly the same, and one back panel.

Then after you have done with all three panels, we will crochet the hoodie separately and attach it to the jacket that’s all you’re done!

Which yarn to use for this simple crochet jack pattern?

In this free crochet jacket pattern, I use 10-ply acrylic yarn, which you can use similarly. Maybe go for a dk weight hold double when crocheting or 5 bulky yarn will do also.

This July jacket can work with any kind of fiber content, for example, cotton, bamboo, polyester, or wool yarn. They all do fine.

Time to assemble pocket to the jacket.

We will assemble the front panel first to create the pocket.

Lay the pocket pieces under the front panel so it does not so confuse the right side or left side ( just my way ), but you guys can do it your way, whatever is easy for you.

Sewing them by using your yarn needle.

Repeat on the other side. After the finish will look like this.

Time to assemble the back panel to the front panel.

After finished sew of the back panel to  the front panel  now it time to attach hooded to the vest.

To create the shoulder.

Attach the zipper to the jacket.

Get the zipper at 20 inches in length for small to medium sizes, then unzip and line them up flatted using a clipper to fix the position when sewing. I am hand sewing.

Bring a threaded needle and the thread color that matches the color of the zipper and begin to sew. See pic below.

Finally, at the armhole, you will join yarn at the armhole and sc around the armhole for 2 or 3 rows; all done!

Hope you guys enjoy making this crochet Hooded jacket.
