“What makes this coat easy,” explains Selesnick, “is that the sleeves are created with increases as you knit. Only seams are side, underarms and shoulders. The scarf attaches and becomes the collar.” A surpassingly easy piece to knit (though it’s true there’s a lot of real estate), this type of coat never goes out of style; it’s a big generous cozy piece that’s just like wearing a cuddle. We love the big sleeves and big turnback cuffs, and of course seed stitch adds class to everything.
