Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2008: “Mably’s animal-print coat features a garter-stitch collar, sligh waist shaping, and turned-under stockinette hems at the front bands, cuffs and lower edge. The intarsia motifs are outlined in two separate colorways that highlight the center spot and pop against the background fabric. Visit our website for specifics on the colorways of Rowan/Westminster Fibers’ ‘Scottish Tweed 4-Ply’ used in both the coat and the swatches, as well as additional commentary by Mably about this garment.”
