This will surely keep you warm! Introducing Brooklyn 2, spawned from my previous Brooklyn design, but single breasted this time and a good bit longer. This Garter stitch car coat is worked flat from the top down with A-line shaping to its hem. Color blocking on its bodice, occurring slightly higher than its middle, is balanced by that of its stand-up, buttoned-up collar, created from stitches picked up along the neckline. Sleeves are worked top down, seamed and set in, with a photo tutorial included to ensure a positive result.
