Crocheted patchwork jacket: diagram, pattern and step-by-step description

First of all, let's define what patchwork is. This is a type of handicraft obtained by collecting pieces or shreds into one whole. The word came to us from the English language and means “working with patches.”

This technique is used in sewing when a product is made by joining pieces of different fabrics together.

Items made using the patchwork technique are very attractive and unusual. No wonder this technique is loved by craftswomen all over the world. And if earlier the patchwork technique was used for reasons of economy, to use leftover materials, now it is an entire art, a fashionable trend that allows you to obtain unique products by independently creating the “fabric” from which they are sewn.

In addition to sewn, there is also a knitted patchwork. You can knit or crochet. In this article we will look at crocheted patchwork.

Knitted patchwork is simpler to work with than patchwork, and is very popular with needlewomen.

There is only one drawback - the work requires patience and perseverance.
