The Runes Jacket (Free Pattern)
Hi there!
Here is a free pattern I actually made a long, very long time ago. I keep using it until now, making nice jackets for myself. The construction is a basic top-down, back-and-forth raglan structure.

Runes
by Paolina Angelo Crochet
This beginner-friendly jacket is seamless and crocheted top-down, only using double crochet stitches and chains. There are no sizes provided - it is just made following your measurements, short or long depending on your wishes.

Furniture |
You may use any wool or crochet hook size, but you will not get the same thickness or texture as in my project.
To make this jacket, I used:
- Zeeman Tweed (74% acrylic, 20% wool, 6% viscose; 163 m/100 g; colour Natural);
- 5,00mm crochet hook;
- 5,00mm circular knitting needles;
- a wool needle or a smaller crochet hook (to weave in the ends);
- a pair of scissors;
- 6 buttons (diameter 2,5 cm) (you may need more if you're making a longer version).

Yoke
With 5,00mm crochet hook and two strands of Zeeman Tweed held together:
Ch a multiple of eight (length = head circumference + 2 cm for ease).
Row 1: ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in 5th ch from hook, dc in the next ((total number of chains/8)-2) ch, *ch 2, dc in the next following (total number of chains/4) ch*, repeat * * 2 more times (= 3 times in total), ch 2, dc in every of the remaining chains.
= same amount of dc as beginning ch + 4 ch-sp. Ch 3 (= first dc), turn.
Row 2: *dc in every dc (ch 3 counts as first dc here) until you reach the ch sp; in ch sp: dc, ch2, dc*, repeat * * 3 more times (= 4 times in total), dc in every dc until end of row. Ch 3, turn.
Repeat row 2, working back and forth, until piece reaches a few centimeters (3-4 approximately) under your armpits.
Armholes
Row 3: dc in every st until 1st ch sp, dc in 1stch sp, skip the following stitches until 2nd ch sp, ch 8 for the armhole, dc in 2nd ch sp, dc in every st until 3rd ch sp, dc in 3rd ch sp, skip the following stitches until 4th ch sp, ch 8, dc in 4th ch sp, dc in every st until end of row. Ch 3, turn.
You have now created your armholes.
Body
The remaining part of the body is now very simple: no increases, no decreases.
Row 4: ch 3 counts as first dc, dc in second dc, dc in every dc around. Ch 3, turn.
Repeat row 4 until body measures the desired length from the armholes (try it on to check). Fasten off.
Sleeves
You are now going to work on the stitches you skipped while making the armholes.
Both sleeves are worked the same way, in the round but back and forth so.
Insert your hook in 3rd ch under armhole.
Row 1: ch 3, dc2tog, dc in every st around until only 3 sts remain, dc2tog, dc, sl st to join. Ch 3, turn.
Repeat row 1 until sleeve is tight enough for your wrists. If you want the sleeve loose around the wrists and forearms, take that into account.
Row 2: dc in every st around, sl st. Ch 3, turn.
When sleeve reaches the desired length, fasten off.
Neck border
With 5,00mm circular knitting needles, pick up as many stitches as you have dc around the neck. Work back and forth in 2:2 ribbing. When border measures 5 cm, bind-off using a stretchy method.
Sleeve borders
With 5,00mm circular knitting needles, pick up as many stitches as you have dc around the wrist. Work back and forth in 2:2 ribbing. When border measures 5 cm long, bind off using a stretchy method, and sew the border together.
Right front piece border
With 5,00mm circular knitting needles, pick up stitches evenly (approx. 2 sts per dc) and work back and forth in 2:2 ribbing, until border measures 5 cm. Bind-off using a stretchy method.
Left front piece border (with buttonholes)
With 5,00mm circular knitting needles, pick up stitches evenly (approx. 2 sts per dc) and work back and forth in 2:2 ribbing, until border measures 2,5 cm. PM as follows (to indicate where the buttonholes should be): on both sides at 2 cm from the top and from the bottom, and in between, approximately every 4-5 cm.
Following row: work in 2:2 ribbing. Every time you reach a marker, bind-off one st (do not use a stretchy method for buttonholes!) and continue working in 2:2 ribbing afterwards. Leave the markers in place.
Following row: work in 2:2 ribbing. Everytime you reach a marker, cast on a stitch and continue working in 2:2 ribbing afterwards.
Repeat first row until border measures 6 cm approximately.
Bind-off using a stretchy method.
Finitions
Sew the buttons on the right front part border, at the same height as your buttonholes. Weave in the ends. The Runes Jacket is now complete!
