This was a machine knitting pattern I saw in a magazine in 1995. The design is from Frida Herbold Hansen, a woman I unfortunately never heard of again.
Though I was not a machine knitter at that time I bought the pattern instead because of the chart. All other instructions meant nothing to me.

I experimented with several techniques and decided to make the stripes in modular knitting whilst the rectangles were worked in intarsia.

I would be glad if someone could tell me more of the designer.

The coat is very light; I used up barely 450 g of the yarn and could make other projects with the leftovers.
