This coat is slightly fitted with the right side slightly overlapping the left with knitted “fur” cuffs and border. It is reminiscent of the 1960’s with its princess lines and fur trim. Wear it and feel like a young Queen Elizabeth minus the purse!

It is knit from the top down and the fit can be adjusted as it is knit. The collar is split with the left collar being a shawl, and the right being a fold under shawl that unsnaps to overlap and cover the V-neck for cold days and nights. Or, leave it open for an asymmetric look.
