Smashing Shaggy Jacket

1970s, Alain Walsh, Honey Magazine, Inspirational Images

Have you always wanted one of those super bright little shaggy jackets but could never afford it? Here’s your chance —you can crochet this one yourself! We’ve designed it so that even if you’ve never crocheted before you’ll have no difficulty making it. We chose a combination of brilliant cerise, orange and lime green, all from the Sirdar Pullman wool range. And at 21p a ball the whole jacket only costs a little over £3. There are masses of other colour combinations, like muted brown, tan and ivory, or shades of blue and purple, or it could be all one colour. Write to us for full details and instructions, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope: Honey ‘Shaggy Jacket’, Old Fleetway House, Farringdon St, London EC4.
