Instructions for a simple but pretty tiered baby coat in 3 colours.  The coat has a gathered yoke and fastens at the front with 4 buttons. There is a matching sun hat and Mary Jane shoes.  This is an ideal pattern for when you are watching box sets as it is easy to keep track of where you are in the pattern if you reach an exciting part in your programme and get distracted!

All my patterns are tested by independent knitters before they are released, so every effort is made so that they come to you error-free.

Although my patterns are strictly protected by copyright, which I ask you to respect, I am more than happy for any items made from my patterns to be sold.
