Grey Stones, White Sea Trading and Boat Rugs by Margaretha Finseth

Grey Stones, White Sea Trading and Boat Rugs

From the book description:
The coat is knitted back and forth in strips – four for the back and two each for the fronts. These are joined and then the yoke is knitted in three sections, with the back and front pieces each worked seperately. Each sleeve is knitted in the round up to the sleeve cap, which is worked back and forth. The looped bands at the lower edge of the coat and sleeves as well as the detached collar are crocheted with a mohair yarn, Trollgarn, and Hifa 3. The looped bands, detached collar, front edges and collar are lined with black cotton velvet.
