Several years ago I made two of these jackets, one for myself and one for my mother.  It is an easy and straight forward crochet pattern from Caron rated as an intermediate level.  I did have shorten the sleeve length since I am so short.  This was an easy change since the sleeves are crocheted in a circle and there are no seams. One of the best features about this jacket is there are no seams to sew. 

I crocheted this jacket with Simply Soft in a gray.  I think gray goes with just about any color.  I did not make the button link but sewed an antique button as a closure from my grandmothers collection. This was a large button but the crochet is so lose I have no problems getting it buttoned.

This is a great winter jacket for Florida or perhaps a fall or spring jacket for cooler climates.
