This is the first pattern that I try from the Happy Hooker book!
I made it for my mom for Mother's Day!
I just did one modification: the sleeves longer. I think the result is not too bad :)

I love it! Have you given it to your mother yet? I'll bet she loved it.
I don't have that book & wasn't planning to get it but I might have to get it now just for that very pretty jacket! :manyheart
Lavonne, that is so pretty a design. It's amazing to me what good crochet designers can come up with from their minds & hands & a hook. :yes

First of all, Thank you all for all the nice comments!
Unfortunatelly my mother haven't received yet as I am in Spain and she's in Brasil and I sent it by post but I hope she will receive it soon. I can't wait to see her reaction ;)
And Angela "La Vonne".... I'm really flattered! Thank you! Your pattern is really wonderful!
