From pattern description:
“Loose-fitting coat in a slip stitch tweed pattern, with set-in sleeves and notched collar.”

From Vogue Knitting, Winter 2006/07:
“Mor’s silhouette-skimming knee-grazer is worked in a tweed stitch with five colors of double-stranded ‘Creative Focus Worsted’ by Nashua Handknits/Westminster Fibers. This notched collar turns over to show off the stripey reverse side of the knitted fabric. Single-crochet borders the whole.”
