This pattern (complete in 1 sheet – both sides) contains directions for knitting a Misses' Coat in two colors of Sport Yarn. Work with two strands of yarn held together as one strand. Pattern includes Sizes: 10-12 and 14-16.

MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS AND SIZES

IMPORTANT: Before you start your Coat, it is most important that you make a gauge sample (as per gauge given). If after you have worked sample and it is smaller than desired size, either work looser or use a size larger (needle, hook). If your sample is larger than desired size, either tighten your tension or use a size smaller (needle, hook) until the gauge is reached. Any yarn which works into the gauge given may be substituted, however, material requirements may vary slightly depending upon the yarn you choose.

Original Coat made of American Thread Dawn Wintuk Sport Yarn.

GAUGE

FOR KNITTING NEEDLES: 5 sts = 1 inch; 8 Pattern Rows = 1¼ inches.
FOR CROCHET HOOK: 3 sc = 1 inch.
