This wonderful coat is inspired by a motif of flowerpot on a pair of shoe-inserts in the Museum Skógar. Hélène Magnússon is working with her favorite knitting technique, the Icelandic intarsia, and takes advantage of the special qualities of the Icelandic lopi: isn’t it truly amazing how light such a big coat in garter stitch is ? It fits many figures: pattern comes in sizes XS to 4X and three different lengths (petite, average and tall).

Please note that what seems to be a gusset in the grey coat is just my prototype that I thought was a bit too narrow at the bottom, so I added a piece but it’s ALREADY taken into account in the chart, no need to add any!

Ce magnifique manteau à la coupe particulière est inspiré par un motif de pot de fleurs sur une paire de semelles dans le Musée de Skógar. Hélène Magnússon travaille ici avec sa technique de prédilection, le jacquard islandais, et tire partie des qualités spéciales de la laine islandaise pour nous offrir un manteau au point mousse très chaud mais pas lourd du tout!
