Learn To Create a Fashion-Forward Look with a Breathtaking Crocheted Coco Jacket

 Get expert guidance and actionable tips to craft a timeless masterpiece of your own!

Does this sound like you?

  • You're a fashion enthusiast who is tired of settling for off-the-rack clothing that doesn't quite fit your personality.

  • You want to create a show-stopping staple piece for your wardrobe that is sure to turn heads.

  • You are intimidated by the challenge of crocheting a whole garment.

  • You are often unsatisfied by the fit of finished crochet garments and would like to modify a pattern to fit YOUR specific measurements but you don’t know where to start.

  • You're frustrated with the lack of resources available for creating top-notch, couture-quality garments.

Then you’re exactly where you should be!

 It can feel like no matter how many stores you visit…

Or how many hours you spend browsing online…

You just can't find exactly what you're looking for.

Perhaps you've even tried creating your own garments in the past…

Only to be left feeling disappointed with the final result.

Maybe the materials you chose don’t drape quite right…

Or the finishing touches aren't quite as effective as you'd like.

Maybe the fit is just a little bit off…

Or the overall look and feel of the garment isn't quite as high-end as you had hoped.

 

These little imperfections can quickly add up – leaving you feel overwhelmed…

You start to doubt yourself because you feel like no matter how hard I try…

The handmade piece just doesn't quite measure up to the high-end looks I see on the runway or in fashion magazines.

You feel discouraged and disappointed, and wonder whether you’ll ever be able to create a truly stunning piece of fashion that perfectly reflects your personality and style.

But here’s the thing…

It’s NOT just you!

The truth is, creating high-quality, couture-level garments is not everyone’s cup of tea.

It takes years of practice, specialized skills and knowledge, and lots of trial and error in finding the best techniques.

Without expert guidance and instruction, it's all too easy to make mistakes and end up with a finished product that falls short of your expectations.

But you don’t have to worry, because I’ve got your back!

Hi there, it’s Sandra Gutierrez

With over 10 years of experience as a knitwear designer, I've spent countless hours perfecting my craft and exploring the world of knitting and crochet.

 It all began as a hobby when I was a young girl in Mexico, learning from my mother and practicing my stitches until they were perfect.

 As I grew older, my love for knitting and crochet followed me as I traveled the world, immersing myself in new cultures and exploring new yarn shops and markets wherever I went.

 In 2016, I founded Nomad Stitches in Valencia, Spain, where I began designing and publishing patterns for crochet and knitting enthusiasts around the world.

 Since then, I've been fortunate enough to teach virtually and in-person at some of the most prestigious knitting and crochet events around the globe, from Vogue Knitting Live to the Barcelona Knits Festival and more.

 Through it all, my passion for helping others unleash their creativity and achieve their dreams of creating stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces of fashion has only grown stronger…

 And that's exactly what I want to help you with.

What others are saying!

  • The way this cardigan is constructed is unlike any pattern I've followed in the past, and I love the fit it achieves. It's easily modified to fit your measurements, and the instructions are clear and detailed all the way through. You'll love the finished garment!

    Ashley Goetz

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Sandra/Nomad Stitches reignited my love for crochet. I had taken a long break from crocheting until I came across her amazing knitwear designs. I was immediately pulled in! Her patterns are thoughtful, beautiful, and most importantly, something I'm proud to wear. I get so many compliments whenever I wear one of her designs. I never thought I could make a garment before but thanks to Sandra, I've upped my skills and am even learning how to create my own designs.

    Diane Payes

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "Sandra is an excellent teacher. I took one of her courses about Round Yoke Sweater Construction and it was amazing. She is so kind, and patient and she explains everything in detail. I love her designs and in my opinion as a tech editor, her patterns are really clear and well written. I recommend Sandra's Courses and Patterns 100%, she is so talented and professional in what she does."

    Suset Suárez of Crochet en Inglés

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • I love my Coco Jacket and think this could be a staple piece! The construction of this top is very special. In fact, I have never done anything like this before. The scooped shoulders are perfect and the way pockets were created just blown my mind.

    Andrea Vu

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • The Coco Jacket is the cleverest construction I've ever made. The yoke just magically appears after a few well placed increases. This jacket is such a useful layering piece and I love anything with pockets.

Materials for Coco

Listed below are the materials and yardage required to make Coco. If you need further clarification, don’t worry! There is a full episode in the masterclass in which I discuss materials and how to choose what’s best for this project.

YARN: Worsted weight yarn (size 4)

Approx 1015 (1130, 1240, 1395, 1525) (1710, 1860, 2060, 2190) m / 1110 (1235, 1355, 1525, 1670) (1870, 2035, 2250, 2395) yds for a cropped jacket.

Approx 1220 (1355, 1495, 1670, 1825) (2035, 2210, 2430, 2585) m / 1335 (1480, 1635, 1825, 1995) (2225, 2415, 2655, 2825) yds for a hip-length jacket.

HOOKS: 5 mm or size needed to meet gauge for the body, and 4.5 mm or half a size smaller for rsc st body edgings.

Note: The cuff edging was done with a 5 mm. I found that a bit of flare was welcome. However, the rsc edging around body and pocket edging looked better with tighter sts using a 4.5 mm. Feel free to adjust hook to taste.

NOTIONS: tapestry needle, scissors and 8 stitch markers (or 8 loose strands of yarn), other spare stationary markers, five to eight 1.5 - 2 cm / ½ - ¾ in buttons.

What yarn do you recommend?

This is the yarn that I used for my samples:

Beige sample used Knit Picks, Swish Worsted (100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool; 50g / 110 yds) in color Horchata Heather

Striped sample used Sirdar, Country Classic Worsted (50% Merino Wool, 50% Acrylic; 100 g / 200 m (218 yds)) in colors Oyster (light pink), Toffee (brown), Moss (light green), Dusky Rose (pink), French Navy (blue), Ginger (orangy pink), and Golden (yellow).

If you are looking for other options, here are other alternatives:

Any worsted weight yarn will work, but here are some I recommend:

Lion Brand, Color Theory (100% Acrylic)

Lion Brand. Basic Stitch (100% Acrylic)
