Easy Crochet Coat Pattern
Meet my easy crochet coat pattern – I have named this coat after myself (lol), not because I ran out of name ideas but because I am so in love with the simplicity of this coat!.
The Oluwaseun – shortened as ‘seun Coat is one with a mix of textures. You get to learn or master working different stitches but I assure you, this is a cardigan you would cherish for a long time.
My pattern testers did an amazing job coming up with different color ways, and I couldn’t be happier seeing their versions.
Do you know…
That the fur collar is detachable?
That you can substitute eyelash yarn, fur yarn for the Fur collar?
That you can make your coat in a single colors?
You can totally customize yours to fit your personal preference.
Yarn details – The prototype was made using Scheepjes Chunky Monkey; which is an Aran weight popularly known as Worsted weight yarn or #4. My Testers also made their various versions in different Worsted weight yarns.
This pattern is paid, I’ve only listed the yarn/yardage and some notes to give you an idea of the materials required for your size.

Pattern Note(s)
- Chains at the beginning of the rows do not count as a stitch.
- The colorwork at the lower part of the coat is worked in rows WITHOUT TURNING. You cut the yarn after each row, and work from right to left; it is worked on the right side with a final length of 18” for all sizes.
- To reduce your sewing, crochet over each end on both sides for the colorwork.
Construction Notes
- This pattern is worked top down from yoke down with no sewing needed.
- Body is worked in rows and sleeves are worked in rounds.
Adjustments/fittings:
- Bust: Best place to adjust bust is when joining the yoke to create sleeves. You can continue till you have a good fit
- Sleeves:
Too tight? work more rows of the yoke.
Too lose? go back one or two rows
Too short/long – increase/reduce the number of rows just before the color changes.
- Length of coat: increase or decrease your number of repeats for the body of the coat or increase or decrease the repats for the hips/skirt.
