I created this winter coat because I wanted something different from the norm. Using super bulky yarn makes for a very heavy and definitely warm coat. There is also a matching cowl - see Music Cowl pattern.

Skill level is advanced intermediate/experienced. Pattern comes with written instructions, photo illustrations, a schematic (smaller size only); and separate .pdf formatted coded and color charts for the musical instruments on back of coat.

Coat is crocheted in one piece throughout except for the sleeves, neck/coat band/hem. Techniques used include: intarsia and stranding type methods of adding color; crocheted-in sleeves; buttonholes, armhole/shoulder/neck/A-line shaping; and adding an inside liner.

You’ll need:

• Yarn colors - Portland Wine/Pittsburgh Yellow/Green Bay/Minneapolis Purple
• 6 (8) -1 1/8in(28cm) Deep Purple buttons
• 1 - 10in(21mm) Silver sew-on snap
• 1.5(3)yds lining fabric of choice
• 1(2)yds Heat n Bond - Ironon Ultrahold
• Lg & Sm stitch markers (large/med/small gold safety pins)
• Lg blunt tip plastic needle
• Lg blunt tip metal needle

It is very important that a gauge swatch is completed prior to starting this pattern.
