This pattern is for experienced knitters. But for people wanting to learn, I have included 3 pages of tutorial with info on how to open up the steek, add button bands and collar and sew in the sleeves the Scandinavian way. Also extra close up photos are included . The charts are easy to read and in colour. Once you have knit in the round and gotten used to this way of knitting, you will see how neat it is. With strong button bands with hems and with Rauma yarn, this coat will not sag and will stay beautiful after years of hand wash and wear. Very colourfast and fabric will hold it shape.
