Short Description: Lindsay is a bottom-up coat, heavy enough that she required seams around the armholes (the body is knitted seamlessly). However, I’ve written tips into the instructions to show you how English Tailoring takes the guesswork out of easing in the sleeves, thus keeping the finishing to a minimum.
Gauge: 18 st and 28 rows = 4" slippped st pattern.
Finished Measurements:small (medium, large, 1x, 2x, 3x)
- Bust: 38 (42, 46, 50, 54, 59)"
- Length: 27 (28, 29, 30, 30.5, 31)"
There is no shaping so the bust measurement is also the hip and waist measurement. Once worn, the coat will stretch in length by approx 2" beyond these numbers.
Materials Used: Yarn Options:
- approx 1325 (1450, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1960) yards any worsted weight yarn that gets gauge, or
