From the magazine:
Durante is a swing coat design from Sandi Prosser that looks terrific on all body types. She chose Mushishi, a silk/wool blend from Plymouth Yarn Co. the long-print feature of the yarn does all the work for this simple Stockinette stitch coat. The front bands that become the collar are worked in five rows of crochet edging, which provides a stunning and unique design element.”
