A perfect little number for spring or fall. This trendy swing coat comes from the humble beginnings of a Canadian trading blanket. It sure has come a long way… now a true fashion statement,

The coat features a swing design with off centre, invisible loop closures, choice of either a oversized shawl style hoodie or stand-up collar, raglan top down construction, slightly belled and hemmed sleeves, base and collar. Positive ease allows for easy layering.

This is an easy knit with simple increase and decreases and the only sewing required is hemming.
