Materials:
Work this piece with bulky weight yarn, or use worsted weight yarn and work one size up! Use a huge variety of textures and colors to achieve a funky look. Combine smooth yarns with textured ones, and even faux fur ones! I love these coats as a fantastic stash buster, using up an assortment of odds and ends leftover from other projects.
Some suggestions for yarns (but you are in no way limited to these! Use your favorites)
Lion brand “Homespun”, “Fun Fur”, “Heartland” and “Wool ease”
Knit Picks “Brava”, “Billow”, “Mighty Stitch”, and “Wonderfluff”
Yarn Bee “Creatively Colorful”, “Arabella”, Gilt Eyelash”, and “Fireside”
To my best estimation (since I use this pattern as a stash buster, not everything has labels!), here is a list of the yarns I used in my rainbow coat:
Big Twist Cream in Gold, Cream, Avocado, Orange, Red, and Teal
Lion Brand Homespun in Opal, Golden and Ambrosia
Red Heart With Love Papaya, Boysenberry, Shocking Pink, and Cerulean
Caron Simply Soft in Ocean, Chatureuse, Royal Blue, Neon Orange, and Red.
Knit Pick’s Mighty Stitch in Mulberry, Ivy and Satsuma
