Angela’s Coat of Many Colors
Hand Knitting Pattern

I love to wear this coat!! If you ever wondered what it feels like to be famous—wear this coat! I wore it into a chic San Francisco department store and the store buyer chased me out on the side walk to find out “WHO” did my coat. I said, “Catirina Bonet in Los Angeles”. He said, “Oh yes! Catirina Bonet! I have loads of their stuff coming in for next season!” ha! ha! What could I say to that? True story. I have a witness.

As for the design, I once suggested that I might like to purchase some ridiculously overpriced fancy yarn to knit a coat. To which my utterly irritating mother (Bonnie—otherwise known as Bonet) responded, “Ridiculously overpriced fancy yarn is for people who are too lazy to make pretty stitches.” There it began. So, on my miniscule budget and admonished dreams, I bought one skein of Red Heart Worsted Weight acrylic at a time and set out to prove her point.” No small task but a really fun coat to make if you love a challenge. I was never bored because the colors and patterns change throughout. Living in sunny Los Angeles, the acrylic was a good choice for my wash and wear life style. I just may do it again though, this time in wool. Maybe even once in

cotton. It really is a great coat!!
