Named in fond remembrance of my dog Kip and the quiet evening walks we shared, the Kipper Coat is the perfect cool weather sweater that is both comfortable and stylish. The body is knit from the bottom up with small cable details, i-cord edging, a high cozy collar and a textured double breasted button placket. Work it in a sturdy dense wool yarn for a warm coat, or alternately use an airy yarn for a soft sweater.

April 2017: Pattern now available in both the original seamless version and a new seamed version.
