Though a large project, this is a very simple shape and easy knitting. All the real work is in the hem and front band so you get a lot of visual bang for your knitting buck. The fairisle is enclosed so floats are not a problem. The coat has extra fabric at the center front for a genuine overlapped wrap that provides warmth and a flattering fit.

YARN
23 for 47” and 52” sizes cones of worsted weight yarn in main color & 1 cone in contrast color.

MACHINE
Bulky. Mid-gauge machines may be able to match gauge at larger stitch size. Patterning capability is required for the Greek Key design.

SIZES
finished chest/hip 40, 44.3, 47.7, 52” not including wrap. Coat is designed with 6” overlap which can be wrapped tighter or looser to adjust size perfectly to the wearer.
