Hooded Car Coat

[nutz4crochet]

I was wondering if anyone has made the Hooded Car Coat from BHG Simply Creative Crochet Magazine? I love this pattern and looks easy enough. My problem is I tend to start a project then get stuck or bored. I purchased skacel Sizzle on sale at Herrschener's not knowing what I was going to make with it and this may be just the thing. Donna

I haven;t made it yet either but I really like it to. I'd be interested in hearing about your progress if you do decide to start it.

I was planning on making it after my project I am currently working on. I am calling it a Season'sghan, but it is like a comfortghan. Somewhere I had read that they got stuck making a "car coat" and it got me thinking maybe it was the same one. Donna

I made this coat...two infact...the first one ended up smaller than I wanted it because I used worsted weight...ok it was my first project in 15 years...but it looks great on my neighbors daughter! The second one I made in homespun...barrington...and I wore it everywhere in the spring...it was fun to make and it went very...very fast!

 

 

I am planning to make a few for holiday gifts...hopefully I will get started soon...the list of things to do always gets bigger...especially after I look at this web group!

I can't seem to find a copy of this magazine OR this pattern, though it looks like a great one - anyone know who the designer is, or if there's a way to get the pattern seperately from the magazine? My library sure wouldn't have it if the bookstore where I work doesn't(didn't)!

Oh that's is good to hear that it is fun and fast to make. It must look nice in the homespun. Do you recall if you used more or less yardage pattern called for? I have exactly the amount called for. Donna

My copy was a gift from my brother-in-law. He's so sweet. The designer is Ann E. Smith. Ebay is an execellent source. I get most of my back issues from Ebay. I don't know how I ever got along without Ebay:yay Donna

I ordered the last 2 issues online from BH&G. They're both great!

I ordered my issue from the LB website. Now I can't find it:( . Not sure where I have put it but I have been wanting to make the car coat. I have also started the cowgirl jacket in tunisian but haven't gotten very far.
