Pattern Information

Quoted from the magazine “Teva Durham based her design for this graceful coat on the curving, intertwining stem-and-leaf motifs of the Arts and Crafts movement. To define and add dimension to the ‘branches’ that form the vertical ‘seams; of the coat, she experimented with slipping and wrapping stitches. Initially, she found that the fabric puckered along her ‘seams’ because slipped stitches are worked every other row--half as frequently as the rest. So she started over, first knitting then slipping the pattern stitches. She calls this method of working ‘slip-wrap.’ The leaf pattern slightly stretches the fabric along its length to add an unexpected and graceful scallop at the lower edges of the coat’s body and sleeves. A tweedy yarn gives the leaf-and-branch motifs a barklike background texture.”
