Mama Magdalena Jacket

The Mama Magdalena Jacket is a statement piece. Bold, textured and beautifully dramatic, this is a cardigan that feels incredibly satisfying to crochet and even better to wear. With its structured bodice, flattering fit and full ruffled skirt, it is a design that celebrates shape, movement and craftsmanship.

The jacket is worked from the top down, allowing you to customise the fit as you go. The construction is thoughtful and flexible, with clear guidance throughout so you can adjust length and shaping to suit your body. The skirt is worked directly onto the body and creates a stunning weight and drape, giving the jacket its signature silhouette.

This design is intended to have negative ease through the body, with the skirt naturally stretching the upper section once added. The sleeves are written with fit in mind, and testers favoured a slimmer sleeve, though options are included if you prefer a looser fit.

The Mama Magdalena Jacket is a slow, rewarding make and perfect for confident crocheters who love detailed garments and heirloom style pieces with a modern edge.

Have the most wonderful time crocheting the Mama Magdalena Jacket.
