Designers notes:

This coat is big on texture and simple to knit. Knit from the neckline to the hem in one piece, the coat incorporates bust and hip shaping. All the lace details are created with simple paired increases and decreases. The front edges are faced with a satin ribbon for stability, and the closures are jewelry toggles found in the beading section for your local craft store.

..This garment must stretch significantly to fit across the bust, be sure to use a yarn that gives and stretches.
