CONSTRUCTION

• The coat is worked in pieces from the bottom up, and sewn together. The collar/front band stitches are picked up along the right front, held stitches are worked from the back neck, and stitches are picked up along the left front using a long circular needle. The collar is worked to twice the desired length, and is then folded in half toward the inside, and joined to the pick-up row on the WS of the garment using a crochet hook. The collar stitches are bound off in the process.

• 40¼ (43½, 46¾, 50½, 53½, 57¼)” circumference at chest (including collar; with fronts touching)
