Long Coat (F2)

knitted long coat

A long, open, coat or robe crops up an awful lot in fantasy designs.

You will need:

  • scraps of yarn
  • knitting needles (3mm)
  • tapestry needle
  • scissors

Pattern:

(A list of abbreviations is available.)

Cast on 23 sts and work in the flat.

  1. Row 1: k3, [p2, k3] x 4
  2. Row 2: p3, [k2, p3] x 4

Repeat rows 1 and 2 three more times.

  1. Row 9: [k3, p2tog] x 4, k3
  2. Row 10: p3, [k1, p3] x 4
  3. Row 11: k3, [p1, k3] x 4
  4. Row 12: p3, [k1, p3] x 4
  5. Row 13: [k2, ssk] x 4, k3
  6. Row 14: p –
  7. Row 15: k –
  8. Row 16: p –

Repeat row 15 and 16 six more times, then cast off.

Making Up:

Find the cast off edge of the knitting. Fold the last few stitches on each side inwards and sew into place. Wrap the coat tightly around the keyring buddy body so that the shoulders fit into the folds. Sew into place.

Note that knitted coats are attached to the body before attaching the arms.

Notes:

Needle/Yarn Size

As with most ODDknit patterns the yarn and needle sizes in the "you will need" section are just a guide. Feel free to improvise with whatever needles and yarn you have lying around - that's half the fun!
