This little ensemble is sure to brighten the wardrobe of your little girl! I was inspired by the vintage patterns of my youth and have always had a fondness for red coats with black trim.

The coat is knit from the top down and features a peter pan collar and seed stitch accents. An Estonian braid marks the waist and adds a nice design feature. The cuff turns up for ease in adjusting the length for a growing child. An i-cord bind off finishes the look.

Instructions for the i-cord bind off and the Estoninan braid at the waist are included.
