Lesson 1: Solid and Flower Power Mitered Squares

Grab your needles and get ready for the first lesson of our Red Heart Stitch Along. In this first lesson, you’ll use our Red Heart All in One Flower Power yarn in an entirely new way to make a 3-stripe Mitered Square. You’ll also learn how to make your solid squares to get your jacket underway. Once you’ve finished, come back for next week's lesson!

Lesson 2: Granny Mitered Squares

Welcome back for our second lesson! In this lesson, you’ll use the skills you learned last week to create your five colored Mitered Squares. Once you’ve completed this, we’ll teach you how to sew all your squares together to form the body of your jacket, getting you ready to start week 3.

Lesson 3: Garment Assembly

Almost there! Now you have the basic shape of your jacket, we need to pull everything together. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to assemble the sleeves before we use a garter stitch to create the shaping of the rest of the sleeve. After that, we’ll show you how to attach these to the body, and you’ll be ready for the final lesson!

Lesson 4: Side Panels and Edgings

Welcome to your final lesson! This week, we’ll teach you how to make the side panels (for side XS/S/M only) before you move on to creating the edging of your jacket! Once you’ve completed this, congratulations! You’ve just finished making your latest cozy jacket
