My husband was super excited when I said I was going to make an Assassins Creed style jacket :) as a guy I was surprised lol I will be adding on more pictures after I finish my husband’s and children’s This jacket is made in one piece and works up surprisingly quick as its all in half-double crochet with a single crochet border. I highly recommend using the yarn suggested because its very warm, soft, inexpensive, and doesn’t pill like others. If it is unavailable then I suggest Red Heart With Love, but any worsted weight should work as long as you check the gauge. There is no need for row gauge as you will measure as you work. I spent quite some time on this so please check out my profile and follow my new blog and follow my Facebook page!!
