The Oakmont Sweater Coat is a marathon, not a sprint!

Knitted from the bottom up + worked flat, the icord (worked as you knit) creates a clean line all the way up through bind off at the collar. Two faux seams are slipped throughout the lower body to stabilize the garment. The shoulders use the wonderfully clever sloped bind off technique that helps reduce the bulk that is typically found in drop shoulder construction. The collar + sleeves are worked in garter stitch--both sections are finished off with a mosaic section. Sleeves are worked in the round.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE MODEL: The model is wearing the sample size of 52 inches. She is not size 52, rather size 38 (her size)--it is clearly too large but will give you an idea of shape. I just can’t take a pic of myself while wearing it:) Please take time to look through all of the test knitting examples!

The pattern is 100% accessible for people using adaptive equipment to read the pattern. Information is broken up into two separate documents:

  1. Pattern Notes: features all of the basic information and requirements for getting started with your knitting as well as resource materials. Some knitters will use a lot (or all) of the information while others may just skim…either way, it is all there in one place.
  2. Pattern: features the step by step instructions for the pattern.

The test knitters for this project were incredible! They provided important suggestions along the way that really helped shape the pattern into what it is today! Please take time to look through their samples and pattern notes in their projects here on Ravelry! I am so grateful for all of them!
