Our Go-Fly-A-Kite coat is a blend of easy-to-master techniques. The squares are mitered and worked in bands at center front and back. The rest of the body is worked sideways, with short rows creating gussets that give the coat a great A-line shaping. This coat was a crowd favorite when first introduced in a knitwear fashion show.
