Crocheted coat - is this 'stealthily' difficult?

[Daisybell1]

I need to frog an attempt at a knitted jacket for my daughter which has gone horribly wrong.

She still needs a jacket/cardie and I've found this which I love.

I've done a swatch to get my head around the woven stitch but are there any pitfalls lurking in it? It it going to be horribly difficult? The pattern looks quite easy but I may be missing something major...

Can anyone one glance through it for me?

What kind is it? There's a couple of good independents near me - google "honora wool", if they've got it I'll grab it for you (the site is called something different but i can never remember what and googling the real one works fine) The other place is so old fashioned they don't retail online!

Ooh, thank you.

Its Woolcraft's New Fashion DK in Plum, shade 736. Its the brand of wool generally found in charity shops like Age Concern and the Red Cross...

I'll have a try :)

I only went and bloody finished it owls and all! Will post pic later (waiting for friend in coffee shop)

It's gorgeous! I adore the owls!

I'm just trying to find a flower I like for the collar then mine's done too

I need piccies!!!

I've put a pictures up, it's nearly finished. Bit concerned it looks like a Santa suit or a judo jacket...

Very cute! Flowers on and it'll look like what it is - a cute little girlie in a lovely snuggly cardi!
