Pattern description from No Sheep For You, page 69: “Designer Libby Baker loves the texture, flow, and crisp feel of linen. For her tailored, classic coat, she chose an affordable cotton/linen blend that gives heft, drape, and crispness without pomposity. Added bonus: the blend is a little easier on the hands than pure linen, which helps when you’re knitting this much fabric. Libby recommends a gentle, cold machine wash to even out the stitches, stop the edges from curling, and maximize drape. For stubborn curly spots, try a little steam.”
Finished Size: 36 (40, 44, 48, 52, 56)“ (91.5 101.5, 112, 122, 132, 142 cm) bust circumference, buttoned.
Notions: Stitch holder; tapestry needle; three 1” (2.5 cm) buttons.
