I have to say, I love the fit of this coat so much, I want to wear it everyday. With Noro yarns, It goes with so much! Taiyo Aran is 40% Cotton, 30% Silk and 15% wool/ 15% Poly. The Tokanatsu is knit on a #8 48 - 60” needle in one long garter strip. if you make a vest, you will need a 16” long US8 also.

Entrelac is an intermediate endeavor, however, I have supplied graphic schematics and clear instructions to ease the task. I knit it in 10 days, It really knits up faster than you would think. Blocking for perfect fit encouraged.
NOTE:
I have written 2 Primers on the entrelac stitch for a scarf in Sport weight. ABC Entrelac Primer 1 and 2. The first is a scarf without edge triangles and the second is with all the triangle shapes to create a straight edged fabric. You may want to tackle a smaller project first or just make a matching scarf!

The coat is knit in one piece, then the shoulders are seamed. The sleeves may be left out to make a long vest. (each sleeve takes a ball) and then edge the arms with the contrasting yarn used to finish the front.
The first coat was knit in Noro Taiyo 9 balls @ 200m, CYC #4 with a Noro Tokanatsu 1 ball @ 125m, CYC #4 front and neckline.
You can use any long color changing yarn to achieve this effect.

Sizing: Each size is created by using an additional 1 stitch (from S, to M, to L) XL, XXL, XXXL in each section above Tier 8 effectively making a proportional change to the top of the garment. You can also lengthen or shorten the coat by adding or subtracting pairs of Left and Right Slanting tiers and start with the cast on number of the appropriate Left-Slanting tier.
