An elegant “fur” coat, re-creating the boxy line of the Forties with padded shoulders and set sleeves.

Both body and sleeves are knitted sideways to take advantage of the natural fall of the knitted fabric.

Pattern calls for 1,050 / 1,100 gm of Melinda Coss Mohair and 1 pair of straight-edged shoulder pads.
