Step 2: With your first color, single crochet around the neckline and down the front of the jacket. Add a button at the top of the jacket for closure.

Step 3: Single crochet around the bottom edge of the jacket and up the sides, making sure to add an even number of stitches so that the ribbing will work evenly. Chain one and turn your work.

Step 4: Single crochet in the back loop of each stitch across the row. Chain one and turn your work.

Step 5: Repeat step 4 until the ribbing measures about one inch in length.

Step 6: Cut the yarn and weave in all loose ends with your tapestry needle.
